HTMLIFrameElement.referrerPolicy

The HTMLIFrameElement.referrerPolicy property reflects the HTML referrerpolicy attribute of the <iframe> element defining which referrer is sent when fetching the resource.

refStr = iframeElt.referrerPolicy;
iframeElt.referrerPolicy = refStr;

no-referrer

The Referer header will be omitted entirely. No referrer information is sent along with requests.

no-referrer-when-downgrade

The URL is sent as a referrer when the protocol security level stays the same (HTTP→HTTP, HTTPS→HTTPS), but isn't sent to a less secure destination (HTTPS→HTTP).

origin

Only send the origin of the document as the referrer in all cases.
The document https://example.com/page.html will send the referrer https://example.com/.

origin-when-cross-origin

Send a full URL when performing a same-origin request, but only send the origin of the document for other cases.

same-origin

A referrer will be sent for same-site origins, but cross-origin requests will contain no referrer information.

strict-origin

Only send the origin of the document as the referrer when the protocol security level stays the same (HTTPS→HTTPS), but don't send it to a less secure destination (HTTPS→HTTP).

strict-origin-when-cross-origin (default)

This is the user agent's default behavior if no policy is specified. Send a full URL when performing a same-origin request, only send the origin when the protocol security level stays the same (HTTPS→HTTPS), and send no header to a less secure destination (HTTPS→HTTP).

unsafe-url

Send a full URL when performing a same-origin or cross-origin request.

This policy will leak origins and paths from TLS-protected resources to insecure origins. Carefully consider the impact of this setting.

var iframe = document.createElement("iframe");
iframe.src = "/";
iframe.referrerPolicy = "unsafe-url";
var body = document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0];
body.appendChild(iframe); // Fetch the image using the complete URL as the referrer
