Working on a website where dozens of links have been hardcoded. This is causing a problem because someone logged onto marty.com may inadvertently click a link for www.marty.com, or vice versa, and gets an access denied message.
Now my first question is, is this normal Drupal behavior, or is there a place for me to specify something presumably with how cookies are set to make this not even be a problem? Or is it not even Drupal, just the way cookies work? I'm assuming that cookies are the root cause of the access denied issue.
There is something about this in settings.php (sites/default/settings.php). Search for "base url", or check around line 108 or so.
One way I have handled this issue, is to create an apache virtual host for "www.site.com", which just contains a rewriterule to "site.com", and passes any elements passed in the URL, such that "www.site.com/node/45" redirects to "site.com/node/45". That has worked well, but it results in more redirects than you probably want, so better to solve the overall problem.
