In this case, if you use URL with dot, New Longton All Saints School is displayed, otherwise the correct car rentals website. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enter URL: http://www.car-hire-car-rental-car-hire.com./ 2. Incorrect website is being shown Actual Results: Incorrect website is being shown Expected Results: http://www.car-hire-car-rental-car-hire.com should be shown Strip the dot at the end
Have there been many discussions on how lenient the URL resolver is, or do we use the old GIGO way of thinking?
