OK OK OK, I admit, I'm lazy, you made me go back and read the Apache docs. HTTP/1.0 does not show the name by which the server was referenced. HTTP/1.1 (currently being specified) does. Obviously, multiple-IP-address-enabled virtual hosts are not going away until clients get wise to HTTP/1.1. According to the Apache docs, Netscape 2.0 and later does support HTTP/1.1 but, of course, Netscape is not the only browser out there (you wouldn't know it by the content of most pages :-). Sorry for the misleading info. >Date: Mon, 22 Jul 1996 09:24:58 -0600 (MDT) >From: Brandon Gillespie <brandon@tombstone.sunrem.com> >cc: robert@chalmers.com.au, freebsd-isp@freebsd.org > >On Mon, 22 Jul 1996, Glen Foster wrote: >> This may not be as important a feature any more as the latest Apache >> release (1.1.1) no longer needs it to support virtual hosts, see >> http://www.apache.org/, and other web servers (are there any? :-) will >> undoubtedly adopt similar functionality. > >This only works if the client provides data on the host it thought it was >going to.
