[SOLVED] Odd referrer: http://https://www.google.co.uk/

Hi, everyone.
When I check my site Visitor Logs to see what’s happening, I invariably see this as a referrer:

http://https://www.google.co.uk/

The access log lists this as the source of the traffic (I’ve obscured the IP):

193.46.x.x - - [06/Aug/2013:03:46:27 -0400] "GET /blog/changing-dns-servers-on-a-technicolor-tg582n-fttc HTTP/1.1" 200 25106 "https://www.google.co.uk/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/28.0.1500.95 Safari/537.36"

I tried to replicate by doing a search from https Google, but can’t reproduce it. Beyond being a bit ugly, it’s not a huge deal, but I wanted to check before I raise a low-priority change request.

It’s a bug present in Textpattern 4.5 and older. It was resolved in r4681. Prior to that, Textpattern’s visitor logs weren’t able to present HTTPS referrers properly.
