On Referers

May 12 2008

Yes, I know it’s spelled "referrer." However, the authors of the HTTP spec apparently did not; they spelled it without the second r.

A silly mistake? Sure, but consider this: how many bytes-on-the-wire have been saved by this little spelling mistake?

Do I have a point? Nope. I just think it’s cool.
