naked domain explainpowershell.com should also work / explainpowershell.com does not support https

When I navigate to explainpowershell.com, it should also just work.

I have set this up, and it does work. Just without HTTPS support.

The reason is, I am using Azure CDN managed HTTPS on www.explainpowershell.com, but it seems this is no longer supported for apex domains (in my case explainpowershell.com).

Next step would be to find out how to get a valid public SSL cert for explainpowershell.com in Azure KeyVault, and configure that cert as an SSL cert for the explainpowershell.com domain in Azure CDN.

This looks promising:

I've managed to work around this by putting a DNS CNAME in place, and adding a redirect from http -> https. Those combined, make sure people end up in the right place: https://www.explainpowershell.com

hmm. everything works, except ofcourse when someone explicitly navigates to https://explainpowershell.com, because SSL check takes place before url redirect :( #sadpanda.
