[users@httpd] Getting hostname from FQDN as variable in config file

Is it possible the access the hostname part of a FQDN in a config file?

For example, suppose the config has the following condition:

<If "-d '/var/test/%{HTTP_HOST}'">

This might resolve to a directory such as:

/var/test/NAME.example.com

Is there a way to resolve just the initial part of the host, i.e. NAME?

Thanks!

Turns one needs to use a different syntax:

<If "-d '/var/test/%{reqenv:HTTP_UNQUALIFIED}'">

I think there are some quirks that make this a little unruly. But you
could extract it with a simple SetEnvIf in advance than look at the
set environment variable instead:

SetEnvIf Host ^([^.]+) HOST_UNQUALIFIED=$1

Then use reqenv('HOST_UNQUALIFIED') instead of the variable.
