When Bad Spelling Gets Standardized
While studying the configuration options of the proxy cache Squid, I stumbled over this gem of a comment:
# Squid will write the Referer field from HTTP requests to the
# filename specified here. By default referer_log is disabled.
# Note that "referer" is actually a misspelling of "referrer"
# however the misspelt version has been accepted into the HTTP RFCs
# and we accept both.
