http://www.www.extra-www.org/ used to be around, but the domain has expired at least two years ago.

I know some websites that prefix even all their subdomains with www. For HN it would look like this: https://www.news.ycombinator.com

On the other side http://www.bbc.co.uk is similar, but co.uk is sort of the ".com" of GB.

I tried to pull it up on archive.org, but the archive page seems to redirect in a loop, even though the response has a 200 status: https://web.archive.org/web/20100906050755/http://extra-www....

Edit: Looks like the tag <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0"> will trigger an immediate client-side refresh. Why do browsers support this?
