*Summary*: These APIs allow a web page to specify a referrer and a referrer
policy when fetching a resource.
*Bug*: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1184549
*Link to standard*: https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/
*Platform coverage*: All platforms
*Estimated or target release*: Firefox 47
*Preference behind which this will be implemented*: No preference
*DevTools bug*: This doesn't require explicit devtools support as it's
about implementing a few DOM APIs.
Do other browser engines implement this? Blink ships the referrer API, and
they plan to implement and ship the referrer policy API. Both our
implementations are tested against the web-platform-tests for this feature.
Since this is a small scoped feature, I'm planning to land the patches to
implement it fully and let it ride the trains in Firefox 47.
Cheers,
