403 Forbidden Error when I click on the link.Works Fine when enter the url in browser directly

Question

I have a problem with opening site through the link in tomcat - I am got forbidden.

My steps are:
1. Launch http://hostname
2. Select https://hostname/Site
3. 403 forbidden message
When I am going directly through the browser like this https://hostame/site everything works fine.

Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Seems that you are not configured https in tomcat properly. Can you post configuration? From your test we can't help to fix. — Bosko Mijin, May 16 '15 at 16:15
You maybe use `POST link`, When you enter link in browser's address bar, this is `GET link`. Let check this. — Vy Do, May 17 '15 at 09:16
Yes, but as you can see: you are getting OK on https (different port than http). My intention is that you are not configured tomcat well, but I can't say what because I don't have the info about that. Check in configuration. — Bosko Mijin, May 18 '15 at 09:37

here is my case.

you original page (with link) and the targeted linked page are not the same domain.

original-domain and target-domain.

if your target-domain not allow across-origin, then you get 403 forbidden error.

click link and enter url sending different request,

I found the difference is in request header:

click link (with 403 forbidden error),

         request header have one line:
                        Referer: http://original-domain/json2tree/ipfs/ipfsList.html

when I enter url, (no 403 forbidden), the request header does NOT have above line referer: original-domain

I finally figure out how to fix this error!!!

on your original-domain web page, you have to add

              <meta name="referrer" content="no-referrer" />

it will remove or prevent sending the Referer in header, works both for links and for Ajax requests made

this is how you remove referer in quest header https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6817595/remove-http-referer — hoogw, Jun 28 '19 at 20:31
