It is not used at all.

It's used at least in ContextMenusController.

source:app/controllers/application_controller.rb#L399
It uses same functionality that method above (relies on HTTP_REFERER).

Not the same functionnality, one relies on the :back_url param, the other one on HTTP_REFERER. But please provide a patch if you think they can be merged in a single one.

source:app/helpers/application_helper.rb#L1100
It could be replaced with `helper_method :back_url`.

Please provide a patch.

source:app/controllers/application_controller.rb#L390
This condition is never satisfied. I did not find an usage.

Used at least in AccountController.

This is "main" back_url method since r19486 / #32850

source:trunk/app/helpers/application_helper.rb@13036#L1100
It could be replaced with `helper_method :back_url`.

This was changed in r19486 / #32850

As the methods have changed quite a bit since 10 years ago and we have added a lot of additional validations, I believe that this issue can now be closed.
