Hi folks,
I can't seem to find a way to retrieve the inbound port number during
requests.
I have a server listening on multiple ports, and need to know which
one the request came in on. Here's the setup:
apache config:
Listen 127.0.0.1:81
Listen 127.0.0.1:82
NameVirtualHost *:*
<VirtualHost *:*>
......
</VirtualHost>
I believe you could resolve this as follows (although it is really a
"brute force" method) :
Instead of one <VirtualHost *:*>, you could define 2 sections, entirely
copy of eachother except for :
<VirtualHost *:81>
PerlSetVar ConnType "HTTP"
....
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:82>
PerlSetVar ConnType "HTTPS"
....
</VirtualHost>
and then in your script/handler get the ConnType config value to tell
the difference.
Addendum :
Apart from he brute force method above, I believe there must be numerous
other ways to achieve best what you really need.
For instance, I would have a look at the Apache SetEnvIf configuration
directive, which may be used to set an environment variable later
retrieved by your script/module.
I would also imagine that a HTTPS request already includes some specific
HTTP headers which a HTTP request does not have, and you could test for
that (either in the script/module or with SetEnvIf).
Which method really works best in your case, and which is the most
efficient, is left as an exercise to the reader.
