See UseCanonicalName. In case it's useful for anyone: Default: UseCanonicalName Off With UseCanonicalName Off Apache will form self-referential URLs using the hostname and port supplied by the client if any are supplied (otherwise it will use the canonical name, as defined above). These values are the same that are used to implement name based virtual hosts, and are available with the same clients. The CGI variables SERVER_NAME and SERVER_PORT will be constructed from the client supplied values as well. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/core.html#usecanonicalname - Grant --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
