Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 669792

(Core :: Networking: Domain Lists, defect)

Description

[Andi Chandler]

Attachment: Mozilla - .gov.uk.jpg

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:6.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0
Build ID: 20110705195857

Steps to reproduce:

Visiting http://www.cumbria.gov.uk/ ,  http://www.westminster.gov.uk/ and http://www.direct.gov.uk/  I noticed that only gov.uk is highlighted.


Actual results:

Only the 2nd-level domain is highlighted, rather than the 3rd-level for .gov.uk sites.


Expected results:

I would expect the 3rd-level domain to be highlighted. http://www.google.co.uk/ and http://news.bbc.co.uk/ both have the 3rd-level highlighted - google.co.uk and bbc.co.uk respectively.

No, this is bug 669792. Nominet added gov.uk as an exception to the general *.uk rule.
