Should the "host" and "referer" headers be renamed as "to" and "from"? #43

The usage in the 0.6 version causes that change to make sense. Also, it helps to the abstraction and the simplicity of the protocol to use simple words.

On the other hand, words that common may make google searches difficult. It helps for technical vocabularies to use unambigous words. On the other hand, "POST", "GET", "PATCH" and "PUT" are ultra common words and cause no hassle...

Short answer: yes.

Why? Simplicity.

The headers can be called "To Header" and "From Header". Simple enough, clear enough.
