If this is what he suspects, why does he phrase the title as if it is something in iOS 6 that is causing the issue.
- raphinou 14y agoWell, the referer is set by the browser, so it is the browser that it not setting said HEADER. I'm not sure it is mandatory to be set either [1], so it might be correct correct behaviour according to the spec, even though it's not what might be expected.

- smackfu 14y agoIf it's new to iOS 6 vs iOS 5, then it's clearly something that changed in iOS 6.
- Judson 14y agoI agree with the logic for sure - My point is more about using the active verb "Removes", as if iOS 6 gets really close to passing the referer header, but removes it at the last second. Maybe something like "omits" or "doesn't pass" would have been more true to the story - but I understand a writer needing to have a catchy title.

- mitchty 14y agoLately if its anything Apple related it seems to be interpreted as a bad thing. It is getting tiresome.
- sullivandanny 14y agoGood point. I've edited the headline to make it clearer.
