Will a 302 redirect maintain the referer string?

by

I don’t know about the 302, but I tested the 301 on some browsers today, here the results:

SCENARIO: user clicks link on domainX that points to domainA. domainA does a 301 redirect to domainB.

  • IE8 referer when landing on domainB is: domainX (even when using InPrivate browsing and even when user opens link in new tab)
  • Safari4 referer when landing on domainB is: domainX (even when user opens link in new tab)
  • FF3.6.10 referer when landing on domainB is: domainX (even when user opens link in new tab)
  • Chrome5 referer when landing on domainB is: domainX (unless user opens links in new tab)
  • Chrome26 referer when landing on domainB is: domainX (even when the user opens links in new tab)
