Summary HTTP 'Referer' is not set properly

HTTP 'Referer' is not set properly. For example, entering an URL in the URL bar results in a referrer of the URL itself. In that case at least, there should be no referrer. I suspect that part of the problem is that frame->referrer() is not the same as frame->resourceRequest().referrer(), and ResourceLoaderWin sends frame->referrer() as the HTTP 'Referer' header unconditionally.

After visiting the site: http://www.ericgiguere.com/tools/http-header-viewer.html from the address bar there was no Referrer header set by Webkit. So I resolve the bug as WORKSFORME.
