Julian Reschke commented on SLING-9043:
---------------------------------------
At this point I don't understand what the actual attack is.
If the browser sends Refererer, COPY will continue to work, right?
So what is the scenario in which blocking COPY requests without referer
actually helps?
> COPY should be in the referer filter's default list of protected HTTP methods
