389011 - Create URIs with 6/5/4/3 "subdomains"

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(mozilla.org Graveyard :: Server Operations, task)

Description

While I understand that, technically, anything before the ".mozilla.com" part of our URI is one subdomain, for testing the new location bar, Stephen would like to ensure that we do proper things with the URI in it.

This means, we'd like (on any server, any domain), the following URIs created (or something similar, of course):

  http://test.test.test.test.test.test.mozilla.com/
  http://test.test.test.test.test.mozilla.com/
  http://test.test.test.test.mozilla.com/
  http://test.test.test.mozilla.com/

Everything after that can be found easily on the internet. These subdomains need only to have a blank page on them, unless Stephen prefers something different.

"But Sam!" you say. "Don't you have your own server?" Why yes, I do. But reliability is important since these URIs will probably be used in Litmus tests and test runs for months and years to come.

Make sense?

(Note: Landfill might be an appropriate place for this.)

Landfill already has this, mostly for exactly this reason.

Thanks; I'm pretty sure that'll work for our (my?) purposes.

Verified.

ss: Can I use this to test the new HP-UX builds we're working on?

preed: Definitely, as long as you're running the BeOS builds.

reed: As the reporter, this bug was filed specifically for the HP platform running BeOS.
