Back in November, I wrote about visiting a page that didn’t display a graphic — OK it was the Washington Post comics page — and wondered what was up. One of the cleverer users of the Nokia 770 responded that Opera wasn’t using the “HTTP_REFERER header in HTTP requests.” (Here’s a screen capture showing the comics page in Opera on the 770 without the Mutts comic.)

I stopped visiting the Washington Post comics page with the 770.

Until a couple days ago. Then I discovered this problem had been silently fixed (the evidence is below).

Thanks, guys.
