That decision should be up to the server administrator, and there can be 
suggested but *not* mandatory responses to this situation.  I know I 
would configure my server to presume "www" = "www.organic.com".  I also 
suggest not touching "the string between the // and the first / or :" at 
all, but that's just me.
