One trick is to append a period after the TLD.
So for the link above, it'd be
http://www.independent.co.uk./news/world/americas/i-fell-in-love-with-a-female-assassin-791978.html http://www.independent.co.uk./news/world/americas/i-fell-in-...
Notice the period after ".co.uk" and before the "/"
E.g. "Example.com./"
Having a period after TLD is a valid URL. But rarely seen.
- eplanit 9y agoInteresting -- sounds like you found a bug in the URL checker.
- mrkrabo 9y agoIt's a valid URL because a period after the TLD is a valid domain, but that doesn't mean it's the same domain, so for some web pages you get this http://microsoft.com./ http://microsoft.com./
- curun1r 9y agoThis is part of DNS. Having a period after the domain tells DNS not to search any search domains setup on the system. If your system was setup with the search domain example.com, www.independent.co.uk could also be evaluated as www.independent.co.uk.example.com (if it had a DNS entry) by your system whereas www.independent.co.uk. can't.
