A Django middleware application that removes the WWW subdomain

Project description

PyPI version Build status

Django Remove WWW is a Django middleware application that removes the WWW subdomain.

The middleware inspects the request’s host for the www subdomain, and redirects if REMOVE_WWW is True. It silently passes if PREPEND_WWW is also True. For some reason, Django won’t include a REMOVE_WWW setting. Thanks to Daniel Ryan’s GitHub Gist for some inspiration.

Install

$ pip install django-removewww

Add to settings.py.

MIDDLEWARE = [
    # ...
    'removewww.middleware.RemoveWwwMiddleware',
]

REMOVE_WWW = True

Adding to INSTALLED_APPS is unnecessary unless you want to run the tests.
