Comments on: No nudity please, we’re Google (or why you shouldn’t mix naked domains and www on Google App Engine)

the A record option for the naked domain on google apps are meant for making a redirect for you…

meaning you set up an A record for the naked domain with those google ip’s and then when someone hit your naked domain google make sure to redirect them to the correct subdomain (like ‘www’ for example)

hope this helps….

Aral, I have the same issue as Betty.
I’m using GoDaddy to redirect keeness.net to http://www.keeness.net, but then if my users type keeness.net/folder, my appengine app doesn’t see /folder.
Is there a way to get that back? (referer, other?)

Hey Betty, I believe Google changed this after I wrote the blog post and, AFAIK, aren’t supporting naked domains any longer. I haven’t set up a new project on there since to check.

How did you make domain.com/folder redirected to http://www.domain.com/folder in the first place? It keeps redirecting to http://www.domain.com. Please help me.

Thanks so much for the definition of naked domain. Totally lost me on it.
