HTTP origin attribute - not appearing

[OP eliokh 3]

Hello,

 

I am trying to read the HTTP header Origin attribute from my web application in order to avoid some CSRF.

 

It seems the origin is not part of the request header (checked from chrome console).

 

Is the Origin only set in HTTPS? (as I have read that referer is not set in HTTPS)?

 

Is there any server support for this?

I am testing on an old jdeveloper OC4J server.

 

Any hint?

 

Should the same application deployed in weblogic have the Origin attribute in its header?

 

thanks in advance

Anyone?

 

Here are the headers sent:

Should work without https :/

Also it's not supported by all servers but most up to date apache servers should support it.

This might help you a bit?

 

And keep in mind: HTTP is a plain text protocol. The request header/body structure can be faked to anything you want. So using this on http is like using a lock on your backdoor and keeping your front door open...

The Origin header is only sent for explicit CORS requests, normal requests don't have it.
