  Heh, no. The header really is "HTTP_REFERER", and is somewhat notorious for the misspelling.

    Open an English dictionary (the Oxford one if you're serious), and come back. Note my fault if tbl didn't know how to speak English corectly backed then.

      Surely whether or not the RFC's authors know how to spell a word has no bearing on how sensible it is to correct the spelling of "HTTP_REFERER"? I mean, if dools had said "HTTP referer" then you might have had a point, but "HTTP_REFERER" unambiguously refers to the name of the header field.

        No need to be pedant dude.
        • jarek 16y ago
          At the risk of taking the joke too far, "pedant" is a noun and requires an article preceding it.

  It's actually spelled HTTP_REFERER in the PHP $_SERVER superglobal :) edit: oops, I see someone beat me to it!
  • jarek 16y ago
    It's not just PHP - the HTTP 1.0 specification in RFC 1945 spells it like that.
