Description MZMcBride 2012-05-16 00:10:07 UTC
Maybe I'm crazy, but http://wmflabs.org doesn't seem to resolve, while http://www.wmflabs.org does.

mzmcbride@gonzo:~$ curl "wmflabs.org"
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'wmflabs.org'

mzmcbride@gonzo:~$ curl "www.wmflabs.org"

Ideally both would 301 or 302 to <https://labsconsole.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page>, right?
Comment 1 Peter Bena 2012-05-16 08:04:16 UTC
it does redirect to to www.wmflabs.org and that to https://labsconsole.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
Comment 2 Peter Bena 2012-05-16 08:05:22 UTC
it's firefox which does it...
Comment 3 Hydriz Scholz 2012-05-27 11:51:35 UTC
www.wmflabs.org is registered to the "incubator" project, which I had voluntarily set up this redirect to reduce confusion of other people. However, labsconsole does not support adding a naked domain to the hosts, and wmflabs.org does not automatically redirect users to the www.wmflabs.org domains though :(
Comment 4 Hydriz Scholz 2012-05-27 12:10:27 UTC
Just need the DNS of wmflabs.org to be configured to point to the www subdomain, and everything is solved :)

Works fine here - I end up at https://labsconsole.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

Is this still an issue or can this ticket be closed as RESOLVED?

This is still an issue, the DNS for the www.wmflabs.org and the root wmflabs.org domain are still different.

Nothing's changed here AFAIK.

$ for domain in {{bastion,www}.,}wmflabs.org; do for ns in @labs-ns{0..1}.wikimedia.org ''; do echo "${ns} ${domain}:"; dig +noall +answer $ns $domain; done; echo; done

Some Web browsers (such as Mozilla Firefox) will silently and automatically try the www or non-www version of the URL. I guess this makes for a better user experience.

http://wmflabs.org still does not resolve properly.
Comment 9 MZMcBride 2013-07-07 17:36:08 UTC
Today neither resolve:

mzmcbride@gonzo:~$ curl "www.wmflabs.org"
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: www.wmflabs.org; nodename nor servname provided, or not known

mzmcbride@gonzo:~$ curl "wmflabs.org"
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: wmflabs.org; nodename nor servname provided, or not known
Comment 10 Tim Landscheidt 2013-07-07 17:42:12 UTC
Just want to confirm that:

| [tim@passepartout ~]$ host wmflabs.org
| [tim@passepartout ~]$ host www.wmflabs.org
| Host www.wmflabs.org not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
| [tim@passepartout ~]$ host tools.wmflabs.org
| tools.wmflabs.org has address 208.80.153.201
| [tim@passepartout ~]$
Comment 11 Tim Landscheidt 2013-07-08 22:55:17 UTC
JFTR: www.wmflabs.org resolves again, wmflabs.org not.
