Chrome mobile HTTP_REFERER is invalid

Reported by glafu...@gmail.com, Jan 13 
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Create script that reads HTTP header HTTP_REFERER
2. var_dump it
3. Try it on PC and on mobile. Make sure that you are using URI (ex. https/http://[yourdomain.ex]/httpreferer)

What is the expected behavior?
Mobile should return https/http://[yourdomain.ex]/httpreferer

What went wrong?
Mobile returns https/http://[yourdomain.ex]/

Did this work before? N/A 

Does this work in other browsers? N/A

Chrome version: 71.0.3578.99  Channel: stable
OS Version: Android 7.0; FRD-L09 Build JUAWEIFRD-L09
Flash Version: 

I think this is problem in Chrome handling header HTTP_REFERER

Your reproduction steps are missing something - specifically the site to load that links to the page that dumps the Referer header. If I navigate directly to https://www.whatismybrowser.com/detect/what-http-headers-is-my-browser-sending (which dumps all headers sent by the browser), nothing is output for REFERER because there is none. The value present for the Referer header depends on what URL referred you to that page, and the referrer policy (https://www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/) set by the referrer.
