dns - CNAME dropping URL parameters?

Question

I am having the following problem, and I believe the issue is with my CNAME, but I'm not sure. I have a cname record set to send www.mydomain.com to mydomain.com. However, the following is happening:

www.mydomain.com/page.ext?test=1 -> mydomain.com/page.ext

It's rolling over to be without the w's, but losing the URL parameters.

What is the typical solution to this problem, if any?

Answer 1

That's not a CNAME.
A CNAME is simply an alias to the IP address of a different domain name; it has nothing to do with redirection.

You're seeing an HTTP issue.
