Hi all,
As you may (or may not) know a heap of new top level domains were recently released. These included things like .guru and .photography
I bought a few of these and have discovered a serious bug in Safari (across all Apple OS's).
Basically Safari will not recognise these new domains & instead it sees them as a google search request.
Try this & you'll see what I mean.
Without adding http:// at the front cut/paste either of these URLs of mine into a browser of your choice but please note that I had to put a space between www. and the name to stop http being automatically embeded so make sure you remove that space :
www. thegarden.guru
www. adamwoodhams.photography
On FireFox, Chrome and even IE on Win you will arrive at my home-page.
On Safari however you will only get a Google search results window.
Apple are trying to tell me that the problem is probably because
a) - the webpages don't exist,
b) - the pages are only viewable in Australia
c) - that this is expected behaviour for Safari
d) - all of the above
Can a few of you folks try these URLs from other countries & tell me what the result is?
In reply please note your browser, your country & page it resloves to so I can feed this back to Apple.
I'd love to know if anyone has Safari installed on Win & what happens.
I put this thread here in iOS as it's probably most relevant here but as I said it is across all versions of Safari on all Apple OSs' so mods... if you think it's better in another forum please move.
Cheers
