University of Toronto ☛ Apache's odd behavior for requests with a domain with a dot at the end
When I wrote about the fun fact that domains can end in dots and how this affects URLs, I confidently said that Wandering Thoughts (this blog) reacted to being requested through 'utcc.utoronto.ca.' (with a dot at the end) by redirecting you to the canonical form, without the final dot. Then in comments, Alex reported that they got a Apache '400 Bad Request' response when they did it. From there, things got confusing (and are still confusing).
