HTTP Referer problem with GWT

[JoyaleXandre]

Hello guys,

I'm using the HTTP Referer header in my login page to redirect the user to the page he was after a successful login. I use "document.referrer" in the HTML/Javascript stand alone page.
The problem is that with the newest version of Firefox and Chrome the referrer includes the GWT cache in the URL of my webapps.

Example:
I got https://www.example.com/com.xxx.portal.xxxxxxxxx/F7973D44FB82877B968930220546FF58.cache.html
instead of
https://www.example.com

Do you know what I can do to get the right address instead of the one pointing to the cache?
Sure I can do an ugly patch in my login page to parse the string from referer, but I would like to have a clean method.

Thanks

Alexandre

Maybe use the xsiframe linker which produces *.cache.js files instead of html files. The xsiframe linker will be the default in GWT 2.7 anyways.

How can I use the xsiframe linker?
What impact will this have on my webapp? If I still use the devMode will it break it?

<add-linker name="xsiframe" />

The only difference is that permutations are now js files and not html files. So if you don't do anything special with the GWT compiler output (e.g. matching *.cache.html in a web server or similar) then you should not have any problems.

I think I have read somewhere (here or on G+) that RC1 might happen at the end of september.
