I noticed a curious thing when trying to access the AppDB today. Using IE (didnt make test with other browser), entering "appdb.winehq.org" without the htpp:// takes me to a site called "http://appdb.winehq.org.com". Has someone of the wine team done anything to own this URL ?

Not really a squat - they own the whole of org.com, they're free to do what they want with it imho. http://anything.atall.org.com/ goes to that same page. -- Jon Bright Lead Programmer, Silicon Circus Ltd. http://www.siliconcircus.com
http://blah.blah.org.com/ the above URL gives the same page as appdb.winehq.org.com. Somebody's squatting on the entire .org domain. Mike PETREOLLE Sylvain wrote:

I think there's a config switch wether IE will complete addresses with http:// and .com if it can't find the entered address. Or maybe that was Mozilla... bye Fabi
