[vim/vim] About the website's server settings (Discussion #19407)

[stefanos]

Seems like there are missing server settings that need to be addressed.

If you attempt to run curl -IL vim.org it cannot resolve the host, with both secure (HTTPS) and insecure (HTTP) protocol.

As soon as you run curl -IL www.vim.org, it redirects with a HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently to https://www.vim.org and of course when you run curl -IL https://www.vim.org it returns a 200 OK.

Can we do something about it?

Cheers.

You asked this two and a half years ago and were told there was no
interest in changing it. There is no requirement for a domain name to
point to any specific host (vim.org is a domain name, while www.vim.org
is a host name). This is solely at the discretion of the webmaster (or
other responsible party above the webmaster). Please let it go.
