Abstract

Security policies are often implemented by network intermediaries such as routers and proxies. These intermediaries are unable to distinguish between requests from requests initiated by a user and requests initiated by untrusted mobile code running on the user's machine. This document describes the X-RequestOrigin hop-by-hop HTTP header, which an HTTP client uses to allow intermediate proxies to make this distinction.
