Checked the archives and dejanews, and couldn't find an answer to this
one.
A machine can have more than one FQDN, so the name used in a URL might
be different from the "actual" server name (I don't mean the canonical
name, but rather the name the web server knows -- this can be
configured, in NES, at least). CGI apparently provides the
environment variables HTTP_HOST and SERVER_NAME to distinguish between
these (HTTP_HOST actually includes the port, while SERVER_NAME does
not). I could only find getServerName() in the JSDK API. This
apparently corresponds to HTTP_HOST (without the port). Is there any
way I can get both of these names in a servlet?
I thought of InetAddress.getLocalHost(), but I don't think that will
work. I'm guessing that will return the canonical name of the server,
which is not necessarily the same.
