apache redirection for URL

Question

For most of the websites URL if I type www.example.com in the address bar of a browser, it gets changed to http://example.com . I want that redirection from www to http should not happen . If a user tyes www.example.com in the browser , then the URL should remain as www.example.com . Similarly if somebody types http://example.com , then the URL should remain as http://example.com . This is a requirement from one of the user . Not sure whether this is achievable.We are using apache for Web Server.

Answer 1

Adding "http://" to your input is not an HTTP redirect, it's your browser making your input something a bit more uniform/accurate.
