".media" domain is not recognized by mobile browser and instead the address is used as a search term

My company has a web address that is in the .media domain. We wanted to use this web address as a landing page for an Android application.

The problem we have is that when people use the Android internet browser and enter the domain, it instead does a Google search using the domain as the search term. Obviously I'd expected it to deliver the page direct.

Is this a bug with the Android internet browser? Should I expect it to operate this way and submit a bug report or are my assumptions inccorect?

Solution

  • It is definitely a problem with the browser's name lookup. media. is a perfectly legitimate top-level domain, and Android should treat it as such.
