Chrome shouldn't make big changes to requests. Changing the host is unacceptable.

And no, asking someone to run a $1 server to get around it is not sufficient either. Why would you think a PaaS app would need a dedicated DNS server? Defeats the purpose.

if you own your own domain name and run your own httpd, being able to properly format an authoritative DNS answer so that when people type "burrito.com" into the address bar, it goes to your webserver at www.burrit.com, is a bare minimum level of doing things normally on the internet these days.

I don't agree at all with chrome mangling stuff in the address bar, but if you're not running your authoritative dns properly and don't have actual control over your zonefile, it's not a good sign.
