[jira] Commented: (COUCHDB-855) New host manager
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-855?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12992422#comment-12992422 ]
Benoit Chesneau commented on COUCHDB-855:
-----------------------------------------
Well that why i was using application environment . Application environement is managed by an application_controller module and all applications settings are added to an ets table:
https://github.com/erlang/otp/blob/dev/lib/kernel/src/application_controller.erl#L870
Maybe an alternative would be to maintain our own couch_env gen_server. I see some other uses for that like maintaining plugins and such. What do you think ?

> New vhost manager. allows dynamic add of vhosts without restart, wildcard in vhost and specific functions in erlang by kind of domain. It also fix issue in etap test (160) .
> Find attached to this ticket the patch. It is also available in my github repo :
> http://github.com/benoitc/couchdb/commit/435c756cc6e687886cc7055302963f422cf0e161
> more details :
> This gen_server keep state of vhosts added to the ini and try to
> match the Host header (or forwarded) against rules built against
> vhost list.
> Declaration of vhosts take place in the configuration file :
> [vhosts]
> example.com = /example
> *.example.com = /example
> The first line will rewrite the rquest to display the content of the
> example database. This rule works only if the Host header is
> 'example.com' and won't work for CNAMEs. Second rule on the other hand
> match all CNAMES to example db. So www.example.com or db.example.com
> will work.
> The wildcard ('*') should always be the last in the cnames:
> "*.db.example.com = /" will match all cname on top of db
> examples to the root of the machine. (for now no rewriting is
> possible).
> By default vhosts redirection is handle by the function
> couch_httpd_vhost:redirect_to_vhost, but you could pass per vhost a
> specific function :
> "*.domain.com" = {Module, Func}"
> The function take the Mochiweb Request object and should return a new
> Mochiweb Request object.
> You could also change the default function to handle request by
> changing the setting `redirect_vhost_handler` in `httpd` section of
> the Ini:
> [httpd]
> redirect_vhost_handler = {Module, Fun}
> The function take 2 args : the mochiweb request object and the target
> path.
