Came across this while looking up Rob McCool, an early Mosaic employee best known for his idiosyncratic spelling of "Referrer".

And it took my right back to my teenage years. When "landing pages" were seen as the right idea.

hah! I was just talking about this with someone who saw the spelling "referer" in my source code and thought it was wrong! That's fantastic!

I looked it up while working on my honours thesis -- "Referer" was red-circled by one reviewer and it was necessary to try and track down how it came to be spelled that way.

I got as far as the original RFC, but today I learnt who was responsible.
