Virtual hosts using same app

[andersa@ellenshoej.dk]

I was thinking about what possibilities there are for running the same uniGUI app on several virtual hosts mapped to the same ip. I want to be able to display different data for each virtual host.

 

Is it possible to see what host name the user has input into the address line in his browser? If so at least for a standalone server it should be pretty straightforward to do. IIS might be a different story.

 

Edit:

 

I have done some testing, and it seems like this will work. The UniSession host parameter seems to contain the host header of the http request. In theory I should be able to use this information to trigger which back end data is presented to the user and even have separate authentication options for each host.
