[ArcGIS REST Server] Not honouring referer

[mmcc5678]

What is the bug or the crash?

When creating a connection to an ArcGIS REST Server, the development tools shows that the referer (and custom headers) are not used in the resulting request, leading to "Invalid token : error 498" messages when a referer is required.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Open Debugging/Dev Tools
2. Enable Record Log
3. Goto Data Source Manager
4. Goto Esri REST Server
5. Create New (Name: BLM, URL: https://gis.blm.gov/arcgis/rest/services, Referer: https://www.blm.gov)
6. Save
7. Connect
8. Review associated request in Debugging/Dev Tools, it will show referer not honoured.

Versions

Supported QGIS version

• I'm running a supported QGIS version according to the roadmap.

Additional context

No response

There is a message in the console when connecting to the server

Settings '/connections/arcgisfeatureserver/items/%1/http-header' have a dynamic key but the dynamic key part was not provided

probably related to the recent settings rework.

Hi there, I can confirm the ArcGIS REST Server connection won't parse either Referer or Custom Headers, as shown in the Debugging/Development Tools - selecting the request and inspecting request headers.

The debug logs show however that the qgis implementations for servers like WMS or XYZ do correctly pass these headers as request headers.
