Sometimes the following error is seen filling up the application log: "HTTP header: referrer".

It does not cause noticeable issues, but does fill up the log. This article has been updated to reflect the workaround: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article?n=CS223714

To clear the error, locate the validation.properties โ€‹inside the ThingworxStorage\esapi directory.

Then  change the values of both Validator.HTTPHeaderValue_cookie and Validator.HTTPHeaderValue_referer to:

Validator.HTTPHeaderValue_cookie= ^.*$

Validator.HTTPHeaderValue_referer= ^.*$
