I can live with or without WWW... – Bono from U2
This Rack middleware is ridiculously simple.
It just add or remove www from your host name depending on what you want.
This is good for SEO to gather everything under one host name.
Normally, this is done in your vhost settings, which means that this middleware is for when you don't have access to vhosts settings like on Heroku for example.
Install it:
sudo gem install with-or-without-www
Require it in your Rackup file:
require 'with_or_without_www'
Use it:
use WithOrWithoutWWW
And then it adds www if somebody tries to reach the website without it.
Whereas:
use WithOrWithoutWWW, false
Will do the opposite.
It will remove the www from your host name.
A third argument can be passed and is an array with domain names to exclude (on which the middleware will have no effect).
The default value is ['localhost'].
I almost feel guilty to make a Gem for that.
Thx for reading, Mig
