I don't understand why they picked a really short domain "so.cl" and then redirect users to "www.so.cl" as soon as you hit it (which IMO looks kinda weird).

- simonw 14y agoso.cl is a short enough domain that some browsers might forbid it from setting cookies, since it's the same length as .co.uk (and letting sites set cookies for the whole .co.uk space would be a massive privacy violation).
- WizKid 14y agoI thought browsers used http://publicsuffix.org/ http://publicsuffix.org/ and not length of domain names to do that.
- simonw 14y agoEach browser has their own way of handling this - public suffix is Mozilla's solution but I don't know if any if the other browsers are using it directly (I'd be surprised if IE didn't have their own approach).
- nwh 14y agoWhile I see the point (and some TLD do have A records), I've never had issues setting cookies from two letter second level domains. At least with modem browsers that doesn't seem to be an issue.
