Can I have multiple twitter oauth callback urls

Question

I have created a Twitter application and specified the following url as the callback url:

However, when a user comes to my site from the url myapp.com (missing the www prefix) the authentication fails.

Apparently, I cannot have multiple urls. So what can be a workaround?

Gotta love the twitter oauth.. wasted a few days on their quirks. All other providers worked out of the box except twitter. And as soon as you think you got it all working and figured out it's a *knock, knock, whoisit, twitter quirk* situation all over again.. facepalm — tkit, Jul 27 '16 at 14:43

You can either

Feed the correct OAuth URL by changing it based on the hostname the user uses to access your app.
Implement a canonical domain name, making sure visitors are redirected to the www version (or vice versa).

No, you cannot feed multiple URLs to the OAuth service.

Sorry for the novice question but how do I detect the hostname the user uses to access my app? – George Eracleous Oct 05 '12 at 17:57
For that we need to know the language/platform you are running on. In general terms, access the request object and get the host name from the properties there. – driis Oct 05 '12 at 18:19
Yup, I was about to try this. I am using Tornado and Python – George Eracleous Oct 05 '12 at 19:07
