From scott@sonic.net Fri Apr 3 23:27:00 1998 Date: Mon, 19 Jan 1998 16:23:49 -0800 From: Scott Doty To: htdig@sdsu.edu Cc: Dane Jasper Subject: htdig: htdig-3.0.8b1 patch -- vhost support Hi, I thought you might enjoy a small patch. HTTP/1.1 includes a "Host:" header in requests. This is used to identify the virtual host without consuming IP addresses for each host. I just ran into a situation where I needed to index a site on Concentric's network -- and Concentric's web sites are all virtual. Solution: a one-line patch, appended to this message. Yes, htdig claims HTTP/1.0 in requests, but I don't think there are any servers fascist enough to return an error on seeing a "Host:" header in such requests. -Scott Doty http://www.sonic.net/~scott/ whois '!scd' [ patch follows]_________________________________________________ --- htdig-3.0.8b1/htdig/Document.cc.dist Mon Aug 4 15:08:02 1997 +++ htdig-3.0.8b1/htdig/Document.cc Mon Jan 19 16:07:42 1998 @@ -295,6 +295,8 @@ command << "User-Agent: htdig/" << HTDIG_VERSION << " (" << config["maintainer"] << ")\r\n"; + command << "Host: " << url->host() << ":" << url->port() << "\r\n"; + // // If a referer was provided, we'll send that as well. // ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the htdig mailing list, send a message to htdig-request@sdsu.edu containing the single word "unsubscribe" in the body of the message.
