Referer automatic computation

[slandelle]

Solution proposal:

• add an automaticReferer on HttpProtocolConfiguration
• consider that "real" pages are the ones with Accept header containing text/html or application/xhtml+xml and X-Requested-With is absent
• store the URL of these pages in the Session
• when automaticReferer is set, automatically add a Referer header with the value stored in the Session

The recorder will be impacted too.

@BluePyth WDYT?

Maybe an AJAX request can't be considered as a referer also, can they?

I'm wondering whether followRedirect & automaticReferer could be considered true by default. I mean, everybody want to use these features, except in specific cases.

This would allow anyone to benefit from these useful features, with an option to deactivate them. I see this like that:

protocolConfig.noFollowRedirect.noReferer

Regarding AJAX requests, you're right, so a "real" page should also don't have a X-Requested-With header.

Regarding change the default behavior, I'd rather be cautious. Let's ask people's opinion on the mailing list. But we can have the checkboxes checked by default on the Recorder configuration panel.
