Alternative domains in nginx

tombh

Hi there,

Can I request a feature? It would be great to have an option to add the www version of a domain to nginx sites.

I work on lots of client sites, and I'll often swap my browser url from production to local to work on a feature or bug , and I frequently end up seeing a 403 error because I haven't removed the www part of the url.

Thanks,
Tom

nb - I enjoy using this app. It strikes a really great balance between power and simplicity. In the past I've lost hours to my brew-installed setup being thrown out of whack by an update, and it's great not having to worry about that!

Hey Tom — that's a great idea. I've overlooked the www prefix since I decided a while back to implement a redirect for all my production sites to their non-www domain. It's a good reminder that www is still widely used (see www.apple.com for a prime example!)

Currently, you can create a second, almost-identical site definition with the www prefix in its domain, which should allow you to access your sites with and without the prefix. However, I agree it would be much better if Indigo provided a checkbox to enable the www prefix automatically. I've added it to the roadmap.
