Re: [cobalt-users] Virtual Hosting and 2.0 browsers

["Brian Curtis" <admin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just did a bit of testing and came to the conclusion that Netscape issues
both HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1 requests, but also includes the 'HOST:' header
field when using the 1.0 spec.  As long as the 'HOST:' header is included in
the request, you'll get the proper Name based VHost with both 1.0 and 1.1
requests.

Feel free to try it yourself.

telnet <www.namebasedvhost.com> 80
<after successful connection>

GET / HTTP/1.0
HOST: <www.namebasedvhost.com>
<enter>
<enter>

And you'll see the raw output of the proper site.
