Don't you mean referer?

Edit: yes, I know. This was an HTTP joke. Not a very funny one. Here is another one: what is the difference between a hippo and a zippo? One is very heavy, the other is a little lighter.

Referrer is the correct English spelling. It's so easy to accidentally create a bug by forgetting that the standard relies on a spelling mistake.

We're probably better off spelling "referrer" correctly except in packet traces or HTTP protocol implementations.
