Well I know the web browser transmits the hostname that you requested along with the rest of the URL. This is required in order for name-based virtual hosting to work.
So it appears your browser does not fill in a missing domain in the passed hostname. Whether it should, I'm not sure. You might try some different browsers and see if they do it. -- Rod http://www.sunsetsystems.com/ On Thursday 14 November 2002 12:22 pm, Ken Bloom wrote: > I'm aware that Omsoft has a transparent proxy on their HTTP. > > I have my domain search path set to ucdavis.edu, and I've noticed that > of I use a protocol like whois (I use `whois -h mothra <username>` a > lot) or ssh (I use `ssh pc21.cs`) a lot, the domain resolver correctly > appends .ucdavis.edu to the domain name.
