Hilariously, I bet it’s because their Active Directory domain is the same as their public domain, and it becomes a massive pain in the ass to hostname the root domain. Yes, externally you can do it just fine, but then it’s not consistent internally on their private network.
One solution is you run IIS (or any other web server) purely as a permanent redirect for the internal host, but it would then need to run on each domain controller which brings its own set of issues.
IIS
Oh god
Lol oh I never said it’s a good solution. The worst part isn’t running IIS, it’s running IIS on a domain controller. The better option is using a different domain for AD than your web domain, as long as it’s a publicly registered domain for certificate purposes.
Is the DMV a .com or a .gov? Because it should be a dot gov — but Texas has stupidly put some of their government websites on dot coms.
It’s almost as if TLDs are completely arbitrary.
This is anarchy!
It’s almost as if ICANN doesn’t know what the fuck they’re doing anymore!
The secret is ICANN never has known what the fuck they are doing.
My state has dot org for some agencies, dot gov for some, and dot state dot (state) dot us.
It opens on my cell phone, but my desktop gives me a static image with no links.
They probably change them to .com as they privatize them
huh? I just entered txdmv.gov and it worked just fine. It redirected to www. but otherwise not required from end user
Edit: on mobile it’s broken … (txdmv.gov does not redirect. Only loads a banner. Have to type www.txdmv.gov)
I’m on mobile browsing on Firefox and it redirected fine to the full site
It redirects me to the https site too, but https://txdmv.gov shows a different site than https://www.txdmv.gov? Lol, what is going on.
This is great… lol. It redirects me on mobile but not desktop…
But it’s the last www site left, right?
So you’re whining because this one website makes you do what everyone’s in the 90s had to do so the time? Well everyone smart enough to realize that being tech savvy is a good idea. A lot of people I went to HS now have a Facebook account at most and it’s funny and pathetic.
