I have used this and it’s great.
~~I have used no-www.org .htaccess file and it’s great too!~~

I’m running into a strange thing with this: the code above works fine in all instances EXCEPT if I click a non-www link in Gmail… any ideas what might be causing that?

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://no-www.org [R=301,L]

Though I’ll usually redirect requests for the pointless www cname to a re-education document, cookie them, show it only once (or twice), and silently redirect them to the correct domain

Please update your ‘history’ to include the oft used, but now similarly deprecated, “web.domain.tld”

I’m making a site that will definitely benefit from an identifier for the “main” site, since people can sign up for their-user-name.mydomain.com, and your script works like a charm when it comes to disambiguation. Thanks!

I’m a die-hard anti-www guy, but I had to use your version for the site I’ve linked to, for some vague flash-related reason. The non-www version just wouldn’t work…
Thanks.

I tried putting the data you have above into an .htaccess file, but it didn’t do anything that I could see. Are there any specific AllowOverride options that you have to specify in the configuration file for it to work?

Thanks!

Hi! thanks for this tip! I was having some problems wit the Dean Edward's IE7 script when visitors didnt access thru the "www" url. So I set thos rules for rewriting the URL and voila! problem fixed... Thanks again.
