Some day in the near future, the marketing department will wonder why so many people were curious about all of their products after browsing Organic Ground Beef

Haha true. I should fix that.

  I mean, it's okay to leave it, (a) it's funny (b) it teaches them a lesson that attempts to track people are futile

    Modern tracking isn't bulletproof, but also not futile.

    Or... you could change it to something funnier, like "Pumpkin Body Butter"

  I'd also change it to `Referer`, as that is what Chrome seems to be using. And referrer is set twice!

    Indeed, he spelled it the right way, which is the wrong way. He should spell it wrong, which is the right way. :) I think it is funny that this misspelling hasn't been fixed after all of these years. It was typo'ed in the original http spec in 1996: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_referer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_referer

      Most things that care about that field accept both because so many programmers make that mistake. But you're technically right, the best kind of right.

        They make the mistake of spelling it correctly, lol. Silly programmers.

        "I don't hire programmers who spell correctly, I hire programmers who misspell consistently!" or how does the old joke go.

      If the web server is following RFC 8969, it will treat "referrer" as "referer" and throw a 397 TOLERATING to let you know you should change it to the latter on your end. See Section 3. https://pastebin.com/TPj9RwuZ https://pastebin.com/TPj9RwuZ (Yes it's my April Fool's RFC.)

      There are regional variations in the use of doubled or single consontants: UK: travelling, signalling USA: traveling, signaling The double l serves no purpose in these. However, there is no such UK/USA split in "referring": both use double "r". There is a phonetic reason for that which is that the second syllable has the emphasis in "refer", unlike "traveling" and "signaling" where the leading syllable has it. The double "rr" indicates the stressed syllable, without which "refering" and "referer" could be misread with emphasis on the first syllable, like "buffering" or "suffering"/"sufferer". A native speaker with good intuition for spelling would never write "refering" or "referrer", even if they find "signaling" acceptable.
