Could anyone explain the difference between CGI.http_host and CGI.server_name?
They appear to return the same value. I’d like to better understand how each one works, the pros and cons of using http_host or server_name.
I am currently using cgi.http_host to pull the domain name from a URL to “serve up” a different CSS style sheet based on the domain name in the URL. It has been suggested that I could do exactly the same process using cgi.server_name—and it appears that I would agree with that. However I’ve been know to “self doubt” myself, so before I change my script I’d like to understand if there’s a benefit, or “better reason” for using one variable or the other.
Thanks to all,
