Host and URL with/without www.

[springguy]

I have a Host.exe with two NT web servers (.dll) running under the Host.  All works great (Thanks Bruce!), but I noticed that if the user enters the desired web url (ie MyWebSite.com) without www and the Host has the site name host field with the www (www.MyWebSite.com) then instead of the desired web site being served, the Host is served.  The opposite occurs to (if the host is set as MyWebSite.com and the user requests www.MyWebSite.com, then the host site is served.

I can understand that, but those pesky users don't do what I want them to do every time.  How would I go about having the host serve the right site regardless of whether the www was requested or not?

Hi Mike,

Just add 2 entries to the Host system, pointing at the same DLL. For example In my server I have an entry for
capesoft.com and another for www.capesoft.com - they're identical entries (yay for the Copy button) they just differ in the Host Name part.

Cheers
