handle www.spatialreference.org (missing A Record in domain) #19

Closed jmckenna closed 6 months ago

jmckenna commented 7 months ago

goal is to handle the case for when a user goes to: https://www.spatialreference.org/
possibly through a missing A Record entry in the DNS settings for the domain

jjimenezshaw commented 7 months ago

Testing it Firefox, it works perfectly, with a 301 redirect to https://spatialreference.org/ in Chrome it says NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID Is that a problem for GitHub or for us?

yeah the issue is the 301 works for the DNS but the SSL cert being served to us is GitHub's. We would need to self-host a server with an SSL cert at www and then 301 it to the apex domain.

Do we need to support www? are there that many links out there? Is it worth the trouble?

jjimenezshaw commented 6 months ago

@jmckenna due to the complexity and cost of the solution, I would just close this issue.
