DNS-level redirect and SSL certificate for www

1

I’ve added a DNS-level redirect from www.andrecasal.com to andrecasal.com (with a CNAME record).

Accessing www.andrecasal.com was failing because the SSL certificate did not include the www subdomain. I’ve added a second certificate for www and, even thought I have not pointed www.andrecasal.com to Fly’s (v4 or v6) IP address, the website loads without redirecting to andrecasal.com first.

Why is that and how can I fix this?

A DNS CNAME record is not a redirect - it’s pointing a second domain name to the same webserver. If you want to redirect the www subdomain, you’ll need to add code in your app to do that.
