This resource will allow you to do multihoming. This technic is a
way to host multiple logical web servers on the same physical process.
Jigsaw supports only Host
header based virtual
hosting, which does not consume IP addresses.
As for other resources that are suposed to be the root resource of your server, you should be very cautious when using that kind of resource. In particular make sure the followup attribute is set to a resource that will export the Admin directory.
Each child of the VirualHostResource must be named under the host
name it will serve. If you have a machine A with names
name.foo.com
and alias.foo.com
, and if the server
is running on port 8001
, then requests prefixed by
http://name.foo.com:8001/
will be dispatched to the child resource
of the virtual host resource named name.foo.com:8001
and requests
prefixed by http://alias.foo.com:8001
to child resource
alias.foo.com:8001
.
Warning: Unless you understand what you are doing, children of that resources should only be either MirrorDirectory or PassDirectory instances.
The VirtualHostResource class inherits from the following classes:
