According to [1], same-origin policy specifies a full URL referrer information is sent when making same-origin requests and no referrer information is sent when making cross-origin requests

Update title.
There're 2 news policies which have added to Referrer-Policy spces last week : strict-origin and strict-origin-when-cross-origin. Implementing (and also testing) the support of same-origin, strict-origin and strict-origin-when-cross-origin are quite similar. I would like to fix them all in this bug.
Summary: Implement same-origin referrer policy → Implement same-origin, strict-origin, strict-origin-when-cross-origin referrer policy
The 3 policies are only applied to Referrer-Policy header and meta referrer. As [1], the new policies are still not applied to referrer policy element attribute.

I will keep my eye on the specs to update.

Implement same-origin, strict-origin, strict-origin-when-cross-origin referrer policy

Hi Patrick,
There're several changes in netwerk, such as adding new referrer policy to nsIHttpChannel.idl and handling policy in HttpBaseChannel.cpp.
Could you please take a look on that?
Thank you very much

That's on my TODO list (https://github.com/w3c/webappsec-referrer-policy/issues/50#issuecomment-230202635). I will be submitting a patch to the HTML spec soon (hopefully this week).
Great, just checked specs and the 3 policies are added to HTML specs today. In term of implementation, that's enough to resolve this bug. 
We still need to add the specs to Fetch's spec ( [1] I filed an issue for that and probably could help sometime). And we could add that change to bug 1264792 or bug 1184549 which track changes of fetch according to new referrer policy API

Updated test case, add the new policies to old test case. :)
Beside necko team, I still need a little review on this. Hi Josh, could you please look into this?

Update and add tests for same-origin, strict-origin, strict-origin-when-cross-origin referrer policy

I'm not sure that this is a useful test to add here. This file has evolved from its original purpose (verify that invalid referrer-policy attributes did the right thing) since bug 1178337, so these tests seem like they're just duplicating cases we have in other files at this point.

I have the same concern in this test file as the other one.

Rather than creating this new test from scratch (which only tests the new header values, not the old ones), why don't we update the existing Referrer-Policy header tests that exist in web-platform-tests instead?

Thanks Josh,
Just found that our web-platform-test is synced to [1] and many new same-origin policy tests are added last 2 weeks. I will update our web-platform-test meta according to that.

I would like to add more test cases for strict-policy* similar to same-origin and others policies, because we have tools/generate.py and templates to do that. It may increase the number of adding file in the patch :)
Should be better to fix in github web-platform-tests and sync to mozilla-central later.

Thanks Josh for looking into https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-tests/issues/3436

Hi James
We have new strict-origin* referrer policy web platform tests are added to github. Could we sync the new web-platform-tests from github sooner?
Thanks
Flags: needinfo?(james)
This is ongoing, but for various reasons (PTO + etc.) is taking a little longer than normal. I have a not-quite green try run now, so with a little more metadata adjustment we should get there.
Flags: needinfo?(james)
Thanks James, I see the tests are synced.
Updated web-platform tests, but I would like to wait for landing Bug 1292299 to rebase.
