: Heroku App custom domain, forwarding from goDaddy & getting different behavior for `www.example.com` vs `example.com` I have deployed an app on heroku - http://appsparkler.heroku.com and created a
I have deployed an app on heroku - appsparkler.heroku.com and created a custom domain for it - appsparkler.com
Then, from goDaddy, where I have purchased this domain name appsparkler.com, I forward with masking to appsparkler.heroku.com and redirect 301 (Permanent). Screenshot
Then, I made changes to the DNS ZONE FILE where I added CNAME and A Host as per a blog I found on the internet.
This works fine and when I visit appsparkler.com I am redirected with masking and can also visit the various links with the URL changing to the link I click on. However, when I browse the webapp with appsparkler.com i.e. without the www, I can go to the various links; however, the links in the address bar don't get updated. For comparision, I have added screenshot of address bar when on home page, first with appsparkler.com and then with appsparkler.com. We can see that /home doesn't reflect in second one. Moreover, even the favicon.ico doesn't appear in the second one (without www) as we can see...
I have tried searching a lot and also tried trial and errors with different settings and looked for solutions on the web and nothing worked.
Please help. Thank you in advance.

In the FORWARD AND MASKING section (which is under SETTINGS >> Forwarding), I was forward(ing) with masking (as you can see in the screenshot in the question above) to the herokuapp >> appsparkler.herokuapp.com. I changed that to forward(without masking) to www.appsparkler.com as you can see in the screenshot below.
