The long version seems useful if you had more than one or two domains that you needed to redirect, and it retains the incoming http vs https scheme. Other than that, they should be equivalent. Of course, you could also implement it with regular expressions, sort of along the lines of the Apache rewrite module, though that seems like overkill for most requirements. > > On 2 February 2011 17:26, Jonathan Lundell <jlund...@pobox.com> wrote: > > I'm glad to here it.
