 # Environment Variables
 
-## Enviroment variables that control behaviour of the proxy
+## Environment variables that control the behavior of the proxy
 
 The following variables are usually set in the Dockerfile
 
 `OW_COMPILER` points to the compiler script to use to compile actions.
 
-`OW_SAVE_JAR` enables checking that an upload file is a jar (that is itself a zip file) and it will not expand it if there is a subdirectory names "META-INF" (so it is a jar file). Used to support uploading of Java jars.

-`OW_WAIT_FOR_ACK` enables waiting for an acknowledgement in the actionloop protocol. It should be enabled in all the newer runtimes. Do not enable in existing runtimes as it would break existing actions built for that runtime.

-`OW_EXECUTION_ENV` enables detection and verification of the compilation environent. The compiler is expected to create a file named `exec.env` in the same folder as the `exec` file to be run. If this variable is set, before starting an action, the init will check that the content of the `exec.env`, trimmed of spaces and new lines, is the same, to ensure an action is executed in the right execution environment.

-`OW_LOG_INIT_ERROR` enables logging of compilation error; the default behaviour is to return errors in the answer of the init.

 ## Environment variables propagated to actions and to the compilation script
 
 The proxy itself sets the following environment variables:
 
-`__OW_EXECUTION_ENV` is the same value that the proxy receive as `OW_EXECUTION_ENV`
+`__OW_EXECUTION_ENV` is the same value that the proxy receives as `OW_EXECUTION_ENV`
 
 `__OW_WAIT_FOR_ACK` is set if the proxy has the variable `OW_WAIT_FOR_ACK` set.
 
-Any other environment variable set in the Dockerfile that starts with `__OW_` are propagated to the proxy and can override also the values set by the proxy.

-Furthermore, actions receive their own environment variables and the values set overrides the variables set from the proxy and in the environment.
