Decode query parameters in local mode

While creating my first simple application with Wapp - a very pleasant experience - I have trouble to get the query parameters. I am using local wapp_mode.

When using wapp-allow-xorigin-params the query parameters show up, but that does not sound right to me.

I guess the problem is, that the browser won't ever send a referrer header locally.

My fix for this is the following patch for wapp.tcl:

diff -rN -u old-edfn/wapp.tcl new-edfn/wapp.tcl
--- old-edfn/wapp.tcl	2020-09-19 16:14:01.799108358 +0200
+++ new-edfn/wapp.tcl	2020-09-19 16:14:01.799108358 +0200

     }
   }
   dict set wapp SAME_ORIGIN $same_origin
-  if {$same_origin} {
+    if {$same_origin || [wapp-param WAPP_MODE]=="local"} {
     wappInt-decode-query-params
   }

Is this the right way? Am I missing something?

I'm not able to reproduce the problem. What web-browser are you using that does not send a Referrer: header when operating on a loop-back IP address?
