----------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Problem
> Referrer Leaking with ExternalLink
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: WICKET-3469
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-3469
> Project: Wicket
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: wicket
> Affects Versions: 1.4.15
> Reporter: Holger Jaekel
> Attachments: WICKET-3469.zip
>
>
> When Cookies are turned off, the jsessionid is included in the URL of the
> wicket application, e.g.
> http://localhost:8080/wicket-app/;jsessionid=03A529631FB1B9BA35556EA02519DF99?x=cOa8p3ycZvK*eAoEOzxHjg
> ExternalLink renders links like <a href="http://www.google.de/";>Google</a>
> When the user clicks on such an external link, the browser puts the current
> URL (including the session id) into the Referrer HTTP header. This is an
> security issue. Instead, the ExternalLink should use a redirect to open the
> external url.
