So, like, if you somehow manage to lose your mind and forget to add the www at the beginning of the webnuns' happy URL, your login cookie won't work.

CF: http://webnuns.org, versus http://www.webnuns.org.

I wouldn't call this catastrophic, but it may be of interest to some.

Interesting. I had no idea that the "www" impacted the cookie like that. It's fixed.

Wow, that is a trip.
Shouldn't there be a way to just qualify the domain suffix without needing the www?

I think there is, I just don't know what it is.

God knows you'd want to save those crucial three keystrokes.

Four, if you're counting a dot.

Just to state the obvious: Not all web pages start with www. Mine, for 'zample, start with http://lonestar.texas.net/ blah blah blah.

That .blah domain has probably hurt business some.

(But not as much as the .fuckallyoucustomersanyway domain would've)
