Please use http://www.nexedi.com/ instead, because access to nexedi.com will be redirected to www.nexedi.com.

[Kirill Smelkov]

@kazuhiko I do not understand. If nexedi.com is redirected to www.nexedi.com we are fine specifying shorter URL, right? And I personally prefer to have shorter URL because they read better by humans.

Or maybe I'm missing something, could you please clarify?

There are (at least) two reasons.

1. Redirected result is the 'official' url.
2. domain only URL like nexedi.com cannot have CNAME thus cannot benefit CDN.

$ host nexedi.com
nexedi.com has address 176.31.129.213
nexedi.com mail is handled by 10 mail.tiolive.com.
$ host www.nexedi.com
www.nexedi.com is an alias for node.vifib.com.
node.vifib.com is an alias for node.cdn.vifib.com.
node.cdn.vifib.com is an alias for eu.web.vifib.com.
eu.web.vifib.com has address 85.118.38.162
eu.web.vifib.com has address 176.31.129.213

Ok, I see:

8d922ec3
5d6b7eba

those fixups will be squashed in when we will be rebasing our patches on top of upstream 8.6 .

Hope this is ok and thanks,
Kirill
