VirtualHostFilter broke in 229 and needs total rewrite

Status: closed (fixed)

Reported by:	fumanchu	Assigned to:	fumanchu
Priority:	normal	Milestone:	2.2-beta
Component:	CherryPy code	Keywords:	virtual host
Cc:

Whatever the virtualhostfilter used to do, it doesn't do it now (sorry about that). It needs to inspect the "Host" request header (available in cherrypy.request.base) and dispatch to a new path based on that.

OK, maybe it happened in [202]. But the effect is the same; it used to inspect the Host header and doesn't now.

Well, I thought about it and I agree that for now we can just change the virtualHostFilter so that we don't need canonical URLs configuration like I suggested here: http://groups.google.com/group/cherrypy-users/browse_thread/thread/f393540fe278e54d/7948aee2b706860d#7948aee2b706860d

Obviously we need to change the way the virtualHostFilter is configured.

Remi.

milestone changed from 2.1-final to 2.2-beta.

Leaving the filter as is for 2.1-final and moving this ticket for 2.2-beta

This is more difficult to implement now that the builtin filters are expected to be configured entirely via cherrypy.config. It needs a dict for what used to be the siteMap (mapping Host headers to virtual roots), but if you try to use the shortcut syntax for the global bucket and write:

cherrypy.config.update(
    {'virtualHostFilter.siteMap':
        {'www.mydom1.com': '/mydom'}
    })

...then it won't be placed in the global bucket. It'll be inserted as if you had written, in the config file:

[virtualHostFilter.siteMap]
www.mydom1.com: "/mydom"

This functionality might be better implemented in the core instead of in a filter.
