Creating a frame redirect causes Chrome to throw X-Frame-Options error

Refused to display 'http://sotaexchange.cloudapp.net/' in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'SAMEORIGIN'.

I redirect my domain sotaexchange.com to a Discourse forum but get the above error. If I switch it to an HTTP redirect there is no problem. I assume the problem is because my redirected to domain has the same text as the original domain and looks like trickery - what can I do to prevent this?

Edit

I am opening a bounty to get a better answer. For more info, I am currently using Windows Azure to host the discourse site and redirecting from a few other domains that I own. I don't want to use an HTTP redirect, I would like to use the Frame redirect.

Solution

  • It looks like you are trying to mask the url of the forum. Why don't you use the cname feature? See cname on azure for more info.
