Re: [Htmlunit-user] Form submit / Referer request-header field

[Toddy M. <zzz...@en...>]

Hello Marc,

I will open an RFE. Meanwhile you advise to do something like this?

public HtmlPage submitRegistration(HtmlPage aPage) {

    ...

    WebClient aClient = aPage.getWebClient();
    URL referer = aPage.getWebResponse().getUrl();
    aClient.addRequestHeader("Referer", referer.toString());

    HtmlPage nextPage = (HtmlPage)button.click();
}

Btw.: I already advised to not rely on the Referer request-header field.

Thx
-Toddy
