#336877 - 08/09/2010 20:23 empeg.com no more?
Dignan carpal tunnel Registered: 08/03/2000 Posts: 12338 Loc: Sterling, VA	My apologies if this has been covered already, but I don't remember anyone mentioning that empeg.com doesn't resolve anymore. I'd hate to see it just disappear or become a linkfarm... I'd be happy to host it myself, I just hope it's not gone... _________________________ Matt

Shonky pooh-bah Registered: 12/01/2002 Posts: 2009 Loc: Brisbane, Australia	Right. Typically domain.com would point to the same IP as www.domain.com but it's certainly not always the case.

drakino carpal tunnel Registered: 08/06/1999 Posts: 7868	And thats why I didn't notice, Safari automatically tried www.empeg.com when empeg.com failed to resolve.

tman carpal tunnel Registered: 24/12/2001 Posts: 5528	I thought all the main browsers did that? If it can't find it then it'll add www at the front and then a bunch of TLDs like .com, .org etc...

Shonky pooh-bah Registered: 12/01/2002 Posts: 2009 Loc: Brisbane, Australia	IE8 doesn't seem to with the Google toolbar installed. Google toolbar (as the default search engine) does recommend trying with the www and provides a link to do so. _________________________ Christian #40104192 120Gb (no longer in my E36 M3, won't fit the E46 M3)

Dignan carpal tunnel Registered: 08/03/2000 Posts: 12338 Loc: Sterling, VA	And apparently Chrome doesn't do it either. Historically, shouldn't it be done on the server-side? _________________________ Matt
