Honestly, I would not rely on CGI.Anything to identify your users. Ask
them to sign in once, or select their domain on the front end, and just
create a cookie on their machine.
If you have some other reason to stick with the CGI.HTTP_HOST, then I
would look into doing a statement, with a default of some
generic DSN so a user wont generate an error coming from some place you
are not expecting.
Just my $.02

Subject: App Organizational Question...
Hi, all.
Would it be better to identify users of a common app by
CGI.HTTP_HOST and put in my Application.cfm (yes, .cfm. CF 4.5 here)
lines such as:
or
Should I automate the process of DSN identification by
using a MID function to select the domain name from the
CGI.HTTP_HOST variable.
(Pseudo code, because I can't remember right off how to
select the string to the left of the last "." in the domain name). :o/
)

With this second approach, I don't have to modify the .cfm every time I
add
a new client to use the app.
The first approach requires a new statement based on the domain
name
and DSN that I set up.
Which way would be preferable? Pitfalls to each? Perhaps a better
approach
than
either of these two?
(It's too bad CF 8 isn't out now so I could make this major shift in how
I
develop apps
along with learning to employ CF8. but alas, I have to strike while the
iron's hot.)
Thanks,
Rick
