request referrer when downgrading from https to http

[eda...@gmail.com]

Hi,

For an internal addon, I'm trying to track the referrer (or origin) of every request. I couldn't find a way to do it for http requests coming from https.

Since it's for internal use, any configuration change or method is usable.

I tried using "channel.getProperty("docshell.internalReferrer")" on "http-on-modify-request", but the property never exists.


Is there any method to get it?

That property should exist for document loads. At least modulo whatever
e10s does here...

I need it for requests that are not documents. For example, requests from Flash that seem to bypass the http over https limitation.
