Description jochen 2012-05-09 09:35:10 PDT
In order to correctly support the meta-referrer tag, network stacks used by the various ports need to take the referrer policy into account when clearing the Referrer header:

e.g. in Source/WebCore/platform/network/mac/ResourceHandleMac.mm the referrer header is cleared when redirecting from https to !https. This should only happen, if the referrer policy for this request as "default". For others ("always", "never", "origin") the header should not be touched.

Test is in http/tests/security/referrer-policy-redirect-link.html
Comment 1 jochen 2012-05-09 10:48:21 PDT
Alexey suggests to move the logic that strips the referrer from the platform specific ResourceHandle implementations to ResourceLoader::willSendRequest which is invoked on every redirect anyway (different from chrome which does the resource loading out of process). In ResourceLoader, we have access to the frame and thus the document's referrer policy

!m_frame->document() <- shouldn't be possible.

I suggested this, but now I realize that this is a fragile solution. Every ResourceHandleClient now needs to implement this, and ResourceHandle may still need this when its client is null.

Specifically, BlobResourceSynchronousLoader is a ResourceHandleClient, and need to implement the same logic. And so is ApplicationCacheGroup.

I guess that we need to add a new client call, so that clients that care would be able to customize the behavior that's still in ResourceHandle. Sorry for a false lead.

Right. Should we make it a pure virtual function? After all, all possible code paths should take the policy into account.
Comment 6 Alexey Proskuryakov 2012-05-13 22:01:10 PDT
ApplicationCacheGroup at least shouldn't take it into account. Cache group is not tied to a single document.

Comment 8 jochen 2012-07-17 04:23:53 PDT
I revived that patch, however, I ran into another problem. E.g. ResourceHandleCFNet implements a ResourceHandleClient for synchronous loads which would need to know the referrer policy. A possible solution would be to include whether or not to apply the default referrer policy in the NetworkingContext which is passed for a synchronous load. wdyt?

I haven't studied the full patch in detail, but it looks like the crux of the issue is whether it makes sense to change these two lines in this way.

I asked Marja to talk to Brady, because Brady was doing some refactoring of sync loads, and the approaches could be in conflict.

Brady's work has already landed, and it's orthogonal to this patch, so this is no longer gated on him. The only thing is that it would be useful to run the patch by EWS again, as it could be breaking the build now.

> Source/WebCore/loader/FrameNetworkingContext.h:37
> +    virtual bool shouldClearReferrerPolicyOnHttpsToHttpRedirect() const

WebKit style to to keep acronyms in upper case in function names (so, HTTPSToHTTPRedirect, not HttpsToHttpRedirect).

> Source/WebCore/platform/network/BlobResourceHandle.cpp:144
> +    : ResourceHandle(request, client, false, false, 0)

This special case is certainly not nice (but probably not worse that existing peculiarities of BlobResourceHandle).

> Source/WebCore/platform/network/NetworkingContext.h:68
> +    virtual bool shouldClearReferrerPolicyOnHttpsToHttpRedirect() const { return true; }

Is using this base class implementation ever the right behavior? It doesn't look like it is.

I think that this function should be pure virtual, or at the very least, a comment should explain that every subclass should override it, and that hasn't been done only due to implementation difficulty of fixing all ports.

Adam, please feel free to review this patch.

The only thing that worries me a little is possible reference cycles between ResourceHandle and NetworkingContext form the new RefPtr member, but they don't seem too likely.

> Source/WebCore/platform/network/ResourceHandle.h:219
> +    ResourceHandle(const ResourceRequest&, ResourceHandleClient*, bool defersLoading, bool shouldContentSniff, NetworkingContext*);

ResourceHandle::create takes NetworkingContext* as the first argument, and so should the constructor, for consistency.

> Source/WebCore/platform/network/ResourceHandleInternal.h:86
> +        ResourceHandleInternal(ResourceHandle* loader, const ResourceRequest& request, ResourceHandleClient* c, bool defersLoading, bool shouldContentSniff, NetworkingContext* context)

Now that we have both "c" and "context", it's time to rename "c" to "client".

Confirming Alexey: Please feel free to move forward without any further input from me.

Another EWS run might be important.

Some ports already have a RefPtr<NetworkingContext> in ResourceHandleInternal.

Done & also changed the parameter order in ResourceHandlerInternal ctor.
