nowww

Redirects any domain with www to the same site without it.

• www.foobar3000.com -> foobar3000.com
• www.helloworld3000.com -> helloworld3000.com

See no-www.org

In short:

All domains should have a www for backwards compatibility with what early adopters of the internet have come to expect (and ctrl+enter adds it). However, those domains should redirect to the root of the domain.

• it means we type four fewer charaters
• we don't type http:// anymore, why would we type www.?
• it's what the cool kids do (i.e. github)
• ftp, irc, ssh, etc all have their own protocols. Why should the web also have a prefix?

Installation

npm install nowww

Usage

(function () {
  "use strict";

  var connect = require('connect') // or express

    .use(connect.favicon())
    .use(connect.static(__dirname + '/'))
  ;
