----------------------------------


I know that it is not up to the framework to strip that encoded session id, but would be nice if it is possible, reopening just to attach the quickstart I used to understand the issue

> When Cookies are turned off, the jsessionid is included in the URL of the wicket application, e.g. http://localhost:8080/wicket-app/;jsessionid=03A529631FB1B9BA35556EA02519DF99?x=cOa8p3ycZvK*eAoEOzxHjg
> ExternalLink renders links like <a href="http://www.google.de/">Google</a> 
> When the user clicks on such an external link, the browser puts the current URL (including the session id) into the Referrer HTTP header. This is an security issue. Instead, the ExternalLink should use a redirect to open the external url.
