Re: [Tclhttpd-users] tclhttpd-configure to set all client website

[Shawn K. <sha...@ea...>]

Sending again ...

I think this can be accomplished with tclhttpd provided that you have the
 site's names resolving to your server.  Look at the env(REQUEST_URI)
 variable from within the root .tml and disambiguate the various requests.
 Once they have met your requirements use a Doc_Redirect to their actual 
home
 page.

 It's not a really easy problem to solve -- you'll need to manage the 
session
 state -- and set up multiple doc_roots for the various servers -- but I
 think it can be done.
