Description (last modified by trev)
The DNS-notation of i.e. *.adblockplus.org. domains (with trailing dot) is implicitly supported by the protocols and service daemons in use, but can lead to potential issues if not taken explicit care of:
- Some software does not support the notation
- Cookies set for either notation are not shared
Thus we should introduce a globally ensured rule in our HTTP-daemon configuration, redirecting any request where Host: $HOSTNAME. to $HOSTNAME without the trailing dot.

I changed the description slightly as far as cookies are concerned: it's not "may," cookies just aren't shared as per spec - period.
