Hi,
I implemented OnBeforeResourceLoad and modified request headers but I am not able to set Referer header as "about:blank" .
I tried it by 2 methods:
1 . Method I:
CefRequest::HeaderMap headerMap;
request->GetHeaderMap(headerMap);
headerMap.insert(std::make_pair(CefString("Referer"), CefString("about:blank")));
request->SetHeaderMap(headerMap);

2. Method 2:
CefString referrer = "about:blank";
CefRequest::ReferrerPolicy policy = REFERRER_POLICY_ORIGIN;
request->SetReferrer(referrer, policy);

In both the cases I don't see the Referer header added into the list of headers we see on fiddler app.
What is the correct way of doing this.
Thanks in advance.

You probably can't use "about:blank" for this. Do other referer values work?

I did not try other referrer values. My application wants it be "about: blank" only.
Is there a way out ?

Changing your application is likely the only option.
