FC2 URL normalisation

Posted under General

I noticed the site URL listed for chado gives 404, and the correct address is http://blog4.fc2.com/tohoni/, instead of http://blog.fc2.com/tohoni/. But when I tried adding the extra "4", it has no effect and the entry stays the same. As I remember there being special-cased support for FC2, I suspect it's being normalised to just blog.*, except that it's not correct. So either something has changed in how FC2 dispatches its URLs, or it's a bug.

The URLs are stored normalized in the database. I just now realize that this is an issue.

I guess the easiest solution to this is to create separate fields for normalized URLs. This might be a good opportunity to just move the URLs to separate table, so an artist can have an arbitrary number of URLs associated with it.
