Datasette plugin updated to comply with OpenStreetMap referrer policy

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Simon Willison has released version 0.3 of datasette-leaflet, a plugin for the Datasette data exploration tool. This update addresses an issue where Datasette's default 'no-referrer' HTTP header policy conflicted with OpenStreetMap's requirement for a referrer header when loading map tiles. The new version modifies the referrer policy for tile requests to 'strict-origin-when-cross-origin', ensuring compliance while protecting user privacy by not sending the full page path. AI

IMPACT Minor improvement for data visualization tools integrating with mapping services.

RANK_REASON Software update for a specific plugin of a data exploration tool.
