request.referrer never returns nil for no referrer

Reported by Trung | September 11th, 2010 @ 12:15 AM

# the referer of the client or '/'
def referer
  @env['HTTP_REFERER'] || '/'
end

shouldn't the referrer method return nil? else this will fool me into believing that the referrer might be the homepage.
