Allowed HTTP referers for API key when using Maps API v3 inside Chrome Extension

[Michael Diener]

Hi,

I'm using the Maps API v3 inside a Chrome extension, Firefox add-on and a Windows Sidebar Gadget. I'm pretty sure that the following does not send an HTTP referer as the web page is loaded locally:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.8&sensor=true&language=es&key=xxx/>

Which referer should I use instead or should I not limit the HTTP referers in that case?

Regards,

Michael

For the Chrome extension it appears that the referrer is something
like:
chrome-extension://xxx/background.html

For the sidebar and the Firefox add-on the HTTP referer still seems
empty and I wonder how I can add this to the referer filter.
