On what basis does Seamonkey determine the effective domain ? Philip Taylor For what it's worth, a couple of years back, in moz.gen I think, I asked what was the difference between a site named, e.g., poems.example.org and example.org/poems and I thick it was Jay that responded that the two sites are effectively the same, but that it would actually be quicker/easier for the hosting server to locate poems.example.org In both cases, example.org was the effective domain. -- Daniel ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
