Status: Unconfirmed Owner: ---- Labels: Type-Bug Pri-2 OS-All Area-Misc New issue 30636 by abhibeckert: chrome does a search when i want to open a website on a custom TLD http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=30636
Chrome Version : 4.0.249.30 (Official Build 33928) running under Mac OS X URLs (if applicable) : http://example.com.pre/, http://example.com.dev-bob.pre/, ... Other browsers tested: Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue: Safari 4: OK Firefox 3.x: OK IE 7: OK IE 8: OK What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. enter a URL which your DNS server knows about, but chrome doesn't recognise without a URL scheme. eg: "example.com.pre" 2. press enter What is the expected result? A DNS lookup is performed on "example.pre", and upon successful result the page "http://example.com.pre/"; What happens instead? A google search for "example.pre" is opened with a drop down box "did you mean http://example.com.pre/?"; Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible. At our web development company, we have a development copy of all of our clients websites running in our datacentre which is accessed via ".pre" as a suffix, and all of our developers have a personal copy of the website available via ".dev-bob.pre" as a suffix. Our local DNS server as well as our VPN setup is configured to direct the fake "pre" TLD to the correct server. This has worked perfectly for us for years with every web browser, but in Chrome we must explicitly enter "http://"; before the domain name, which is frustrating since we have literally thousands of domain names, and often need to type them in quickly (such as while on a phone call with the client). -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
