I'm testing my web application on BB 5.0 simulators, it seems that every ajax request I attempt is missing the 'Referer' request header. The problem is that the web service I am calling requires it. It is added in the BB 6.0 browser, and every other browser / device I have tested. I am using jquery to submit my ajax requests. Is there any information on how to use an ajax request with a 'referer' request header in BB 5.0.

I haven't tried this in BB OS 5 but have you tried calling setRequestHeader()? This should be done before you call Send().

Thanks for the reply, however I have discovered that the w3c recommends that the 'Referer' header not be modified through javascript, and have tested that on several browsers, the setRequestHeader() method does not modify the 'Referer' request Header.

I'm looking for a solution that somehow overrides the blackberry browser's deficiency of not setting the 'Referer' header, any ideas?

Hey All,

Has anyone found a way around this?

Thanks in advance
