Re: [ic] SecureURL is being replaced by CGI::script_name

[bill@worldwideimpact.com]

I started using FullURL because I wanted to simplify. It's easier for me 
to use the same link file name for all of my catalogs. domin1.com/ic, 
domain2.com/ic, etc. All of the catalogs I do need a domain name because 
that is how most people find things on the web so I have to think about 
that anyway. I like to always call the link program ic and in fact use the 
same one for all catalogs. I also find it simple and convenient to have 
many developers working off of the same catalog with their own pages 
directory and htdocs directory. We have a set up that's working for us 
where we do not have to set up a separate catalog for each developer. We 
just set VendURL and PageDir using a programmed Watch Point in 
catalog_after.cfg based on the CGI::http_host.

I too have looked at those lines, of course in our older version
they are only at lines 1296....

FullURL brings its own set of complications.  At least in the version
we are using, domain names were case sensitive!

Simplify.

Use DNS and redirects to deal with teabreads?.com issue.  Don't
try to solve it inside ic.  That will lead you into SSL, cookie
and dropped session hell.  Just because you can be more complex 
does not mean you have to; why use 8 bits when 64 will do?

If SecureURL gives you problems for dev catalogs, just use a
different SecureURL.  You only need to change it once in the
catalog.cfg.  In our case it has to be different because we
never prototype on production machine (or daemon) so the
host and port must be different.
