I'm getting ready to deploy my Rails app. Currently whether you browse to it using www.domain.com or just domain.com you get the same site.I'm pretty new at this, so I'm looking for some wisdom from experienced web app developers:Is it worth forcing requests to either WWW or non-WWW? It seems there are apps that go either way...I know that this kind of question is in danger of being too subjective, but to help keep it objective here's a few specific questions that I'd really appreciate answers to:Does your web app force requests to WWW or root domain, or does it allow both equally?What technical reasons are there for choosing one option or the other (honestly I don't know if it even makes a difference).If you were building a new web app today, which option would you choose?I appreciate any advice.--EDIT--To reiterate what I'm looking for as distinct from this question are there specific ramifications for web applications that I should be aware of before I make a decision and deploy? In particular if any Rails developers have had issues related to one option or the other that would be really helpful to know.
