Moroo,
Did you get a satisfactory solution to having /magic/somecgi
behavior depend on the domain name?
The solution is not to use /sys/lib/httpd.rewrite, because httpd applies
that only for normal file delivery. Magic is considered as a mechanism
for the developer to have total control, so we jump to that with very
little processing. However, your somecgi command linked against libhttpd
does have convenient access to hc->head.host extracted from the HTTP
headers, so you can readily personalize the behavior by domain name.
I'm wary of turning this over to shell scripts. One needs to be
very careful about processing strings coming from the bad guys. Doing
it in C where you know precisely what is interpreted seems safest.
Eric
