Why, when I was having a quick lurk here earlier, was the url prefixed by wscdn instead of www, thusly?

Any ideas or inside track anyone?

Probably some test address. The first part of a URL, which is usually www, is a local thing on the company's own server, so it can be anything they like, or even entirely absent.

Oooh, that was weird. I tried out some other h2 URLs with the wscdn in front of them and for a minute there all my h2 pages had them. I couldn't post from those pages though.
