That's not the case. I run a server that does not respond to "www." If I enter "www.myserver.com" into the address bar, I get a DNS lookup failure, but the address bar is now showing "myserver.com." That's damn confusing, and this is an idiotic default on Chrome's part.
- lozenge 8y agoThat seems like an edge case worth submitting a separate bug for.
- crispyporkbites 8y agoIt's not an edge case, it's a specific customization required to support Chrome browsers only.

You can write a small script to look up all PSL domains and check if the www and APEX domain has the same dns records. Our implementation (we control 15 or so) does not, have a www-subdomain for the domains. Anybody can register the www-subdomains.
