virtualhostfilter examples?

[Tim Williams]

I'm considering TurboGears for an upcoming project and am putting together
some test code. For various reasons I need several domains to point to
different parts of a single website structure as well as to their own
"homepage" EG

http://www.mydom1.com -> root
http://www.mydom2.com -> root/mydom2/
http://www.mydom3.com -> root/mydom3/
http://www.mydom4.com -> under construction page

but also to have http://www.mydom1.com/mydom2/ etc to be vaild pages in
their own right

I gather I would use virtualhostfilter but are there any examples or
snippets out there that would quickstart my tests (I didn't find its use
obvious from the docs) ? Or do you have any suggestions for its use?

I will be using CP as the front-end server and not placing it behind Apache
etc

TIA

Tim

Hi Tim,

virtualHostFilter is not well-documented yet but here is how you use it:

cherrypy.config.update({
'http://mydom2.com': {
'virtualHostFilter.on': True,
'virtualHostFilter.prefix': '/mydom2'},
'http://mydom3.com': {
'virtualHostFilter.on': True,
'virtualHostFilter.prefix': '/mydom3'},
})

However,this won't work with the current 2.1-rc2 release because specifying
canonical paths for config keys is broken in this version ...
I'll try to fix it tomorow.

Remi.

Hi Remi, thanks for the information. Please can you let me know when
Ticket #344 is resolved, and the new usage details
