<body><div>While I'm sure this is documented somewhere - I haven't found exactly what I'm looking for. Or I'm just not understanding what I've read.</div><div><br /></div><div>My understanding is simply prefixing a server name with ".", such as ".example.com", is a special wildcard that basically becomes "example.com *.example.com". My current nginx version is 1.20.2.</div><div><br /></div><div>I have a number of domains that I want to re-direct to a master name. And I want http re-directed to https. So I have:</div><div><br /></div><div>server {

Also for both protocols for "<a href="http://www.maindomain.com">www.maindomain.com</a>". And - it works for "<a href="http://www.example1.com">www.example1.com</a>" as well as the other alternate domains with a "www" prefix. But it does not work for just "example1.com" or the other domains. It doesn't appear to be DNS - both the base domain and the "www" A records point to the same IP. What I'm receiving is a 404 Not Found for either "<a href="http://example1.com">http://example1.com</a>" (which does not re-direct to https) or "<a href="https://example1.com">https://example1.com</a>". And I don't understand why.</div><div><br /></div><div id="signature_old">--<div>Daniel</div></div><div><br /></div>
