So, for our cookie system, we want it so whenever you visit our site, regardless of what you've entered, you get directed to a "blank.com" and not a "www.blank.com.
I.e, you want to go to blank.com. You type www.blank.com but in your title bar it changes to http://blank.com.
Help?

RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]Yeah, but be sure you've enabled mod_rewrite first. You might also have to tweak your AllowOverride settings if you've not given permission for .htaccess files to define rewrite rules.
Using .htaccess and mod_rewrite won't change the users bar to reflect the fact that they're now looking at blank.com rather than www.blank.com, as mod_rewrite is an internal redirection.
If you want the user to see that they're looking at blank.com rather than www.blank.com, a simple redirect page is the easiest way to do this. For example, www.arstechnica.com sends back a 301 Moved Permanently with a location of arstechnica.com in its HTTP headers. In PHP, using the header() command can change these codes to get a redirect going.
The [R=301] flag to RewriteRule forces an HTTP 301 code to be returned, which will properly update the user's browser.
