**wdforty** · 05-31-2006, 04:17 PM

It redirects to this, http://s/ap/20060531/ap_on_bi_ge/oil_prices FireFox/Google then redirect to McD's.

Same if you were to put the letter "s" in your FireFox address bar.

Weird... I figured it was just a simple case of S.COM, S.NET or S.ORG having a redirect, but those domains don't actually exist. Are there any other TLDs that browsers try when you don't enter a fully qualified domain name?

**JayLogic** · 06-01-2006, 01:18 AM

McDonalds cheat them :D LOL

**Malicious Biz** · 06-01-2006, 01:25 AM
