[SOLVED] - Only domain recorded as referrer

[jeffshead]

When I view the recorded referrers in the log, they only shows the domain.

For example, if I place a short link on: https://www.example.com/directory/subdirectory/index.php, and someone clicks that link, the referrer recorded in the log will be: https://www.example.com/

Shouldn't the referrer be: https://www.example.com/directory/subdirectory/ or https://www.example.com/directory/subdirectory/index.php

Is this by design?

Browsers are shifting/have shifted to a stricter default referrer policy. While the old default was no-referrer-when-downgrade, cross-origin requests will likely only get the origin (domain) by default from most browsers now as the strict-origin-when-cross-origin policy has been adopted as the new default by browsers including Firefox and Chrome/Chromium.

YOURLS only caps the length of the referrer, though a plugin could further modify it:

YOURLS/includes/functions.php

Lines 220 to 224 in 2f3ea60

	function yourls_get_referrer() {
	$referrer = isset( $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] ) ? yourls_sanitize_url_safe( $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] ) : 'direct';
	return yourls_apply_filter( 'get_referrer', substr( $referrer, 0, 200 ) );
	}
