And a good browser will accept just "ai" as the URL, too!

Maybe some internal auto-proxy configuration file should be changed to think
that the 'ai' is not a plain hostname but a FQDN :-)
Is the internal Millicent's auto-proxy configuration first?

This one is "forbidden".
and
x
speaks for itself...

But those are not Fully Qualified Domain Names. If you
try "http://x./" it won't work because the actual domain
is "x.com.".

| 4583.6 | Other two-letters that work | STAR::COPE | | Tue Apr 29 1997 17:01 | 10 |
| There are a fair number of two-letter country domains, though.
Strangely, some end up elsewhere... I guess something (Netscape?) is
tacking on a .com?

| Right... by the default Navigator tags on ".com" if it can't find a
host for the name given. (Similar to how most browsers add http:// by
default to the beginning.) It allows lazy folks to type names of
companies... like "DIGITAL" or "Intel"... and it goes to their main
web site. Probably not a good habit... but it works.

If you type '0' you get the proxy server's page.

| auto domain guessing--it doesn't work in Palo Alto. I think it
ends up tacking .pa.dec.com onto the name you type in. On the
other hand, when I'm using my ISP, it works.

| 4583.10 | An even smaller URL | TUXEDO::strutt.lkg.dec.com::strutt | | Mon May 05 1997 13:33 | 4 |
| re: .4 and .5
Although not fully qualified, the URL . works.
And "." is smaller than q, x or z :-)
