158162 - URL "correction" odious.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 115539

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, defect)

Description

[bugzilla]

I have a local machine (named "foo").  I often want to go to it, so I have a
bookmark for "http://foo/".  If I'm not on my network, and I hit this bookmark,
I am redirected to "www.foo.com".

If I had meant to type that, I would have.

There should be some level of user configuration of the automatic "corrections"
to URL's.  In my case, I never in a million years want "www" or ".com" added to
a URL, but I might not mind if "hostname" were translated to "http://hostname/".

I strongly beleive we had a switch to disable it somewhere, and even a list of
preffixes and suffixes to try...
