[wp-hackers] Important Forum Post

[Mathias Bynens]

You could of course use no-www code, like this [
http://mathibus.com/archives/2004/06/08/redirects/ ]:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^mathibus.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mathibus.com/$1 [R=301,L]

(For those non-Apache: there's a PHP function that pretty much does
the same, on the page linked above.)

Without www. in URIs, the world would be a better place. Not only
because of this bug. [ http://no-www.org/ ]
