BMCWeb maintainers,
This is a request to add new HTTP headers. Some of the newer dynamic
security scanners are looking for the "new" HTTP headers and complain if
they are not present. The headers include:
- Referrer-Policy
- Permissions-Policy
- Feature-Policy renamed to Permissions-Policy
Should we support these in BMCWeb? Maybe as hard-coded response header.
For example, for the Permissions-Policy, would we ever need to
accelerometer or microphone?
When selecting the Referrer-Policy we should select secure default
values, and also consider the Web GUI development scenario when the Web
site is hosted off of the BMC.
I am not an expert on HTTP headers and I do not know what values to
use. My purpose is to determine if these headers are useful (I believe
they are) and update BMCWeb to set some sane values.
Joseph
