- // NEVER_CLEAR_REFERRER when implementing the meta-referrer support

- // non-default referrer policy. Only the default referrer policy requires
- // the referrer to be cleared on transitions from HTTPS to HTTP.
+ // referrer policy can be set to strip the referrer down to an origin upon
+ // cross-origin navigation (ORIGIN_ONLY_ON_TRANSITION_CROSS_ORIGIN), or
+ // never change the referrer header (NEVER_CLEAR_REFERRER). Embedders will

+ // redirected cross-origin, but does not degrade to an insecure connection,
+ // the referrer will be delivered with reduced granularity (e.g. an origin
+ // rather than a full URL).

Mike West 2014/11/19 10:23:08 Oh, I did this above. Nevermind, me!
