vim.org STILL fails to redirect to www.vim.org

[Andrew Pennebaker]

For the love of Web accessibility, please do whatever is necessary to have vim.org redirect to www.vim.org. Broken domains suck.

That has been discussed several times. Quick solution: always use www

Best,

For me it does. But it may be because Mozilla browsers (SeaMonkey and,
I think, Firefox) try pefixing www. by default when the raw domain
name isn't found.

See the following preferences in about:config (which, in SeaMonkey,
have default values as shown):

browser.fixup.alternate.enabled
true
browser.fixup.alternate.prefix
www.
browser.fixup.alternate.suffix
.com

Non-Mozilla browsers may or may not have a similar mechanism,
depending on the browser.


Best regards,
Tony.
