Yes. > as 1and1 allows me to enter an HTTP redirect, which I have done as > "http://ggemmill.ddns.net., This is working. $ curl -sSI http://share.gemmill.name HTTP/1.1 302 Found Date: Fri, 22 May 2015 11:29:51 GMT Server: Apache Location: https://ggemmill.ddns.net Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 > with the "." on the end as he suggests..

The HTTP redirect is discarding any given path. See how /foo isn't present in location. $ curl -sSI http://share.gemmill.name/foo HTTP/1.1 302 Found Date: Fri, 22 May 2015 11:30:03 GMT Server: Apache Location: https://ggemmill.ddns.net Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Perhaps they offer a way to carry that over. And 1and1 don't appear to give you a HTTPS service. $ curl -sSI https://share.gemmill.name curl: (7) couldn't connect to host If you want to persist with the HTTP redirect then how about hosting http://owncloud.ggemmill.ddns.net and have that bounce visitors on to https://ggemmill.ddns.net/owncloud, then have 1and1 turn http://share.gemmill.name/anything into http://owncloud.ggemmill.ddns.net where the discard doesn't matter. Or, backtrack, and give John's simpler and more efficient CNAME solution a try. :-) http://help.1and1.com/domains-c36931/manage-domains-c79822/dns-c37586/enter-a-cname-record-for-your-domain-a643600.html Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2015-06-02 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread: mailto:[email protected] / CHECK IF YOU'RE REPLYING Reporting bugs well: http://goo.gl/4Xue / TO THE LIST OR THE AUTHOR
