Igor Vaynberg commented on WICKET-3469:
---------------------------------------

nevermind, i see. i think martijn is correct, if you do not want to show the 
referer - which will contain jsessiond, use a normal link and redirect to the 
external url.

> 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.
