Hi Edwin

Although perhaps off the original topic, this is still very relevant stuff, so thanks for sharing it - I was not aware of this potential problem at all..!

At the same time, I should also mention that I haven't experiences any issues with SH's suggested setup and redirects (I mostly use them to redirect into language folders; e.g. if http://my.domain.com/ is requested I'll redirect into http://my.domain.com/en/).

I'll try to investigate this a bit further when I have more time. Thanks again. :)

All the best,
Paul
