Benoit Chesneau updated COUCHDB-855:
------------------------------------

    Attachment: 0001-Squashed-commit-of-the-following.patch

new version of the patch allowing Host rewriting :

Like in the _rewrite handler you could match some variable and use them to create the target path. Some examples:

    [vhosts]
    *.example.com = /*
    $dbname.example.com = /$dbname
    $ddocname.$dbname.example.com = /$dbname/_design/$ddocname/_rewrite

First rule pass wildcard as dbname, second do the same but use a variable name and the third one allows you to use any app with $ddocname in any db with $dbname .

> New vhost manager. allows dynamic add of vhosts without restart, wildcard in vhost and specific functions in erlang by kind of domain. It also fix issue in etap test (160) .
> Find attached to this ticket the patch. It is also available in my github repo :
> http://github.com/benoitc/couchdb/commit/435c756cc6e687886cc7055302963f422cf0e161
> more details :
> This gen_server keep state of vhosts added to the ini and try to
> match the Host header (or forwarded) against rules built against
> vhost list. 
> Declaration of vhosts take place in the configuration file :
> [vhosts]
> example.com = /example
> *.example.com = /example
> The first line will rewrite the rquest to display the content of the
> example database. This rule works only if the Host header is
> 'example.com' and won't work for CNAMEs. Second rule on the other hand
> match all CNAMES to example db. So www.example.com or db.example.com
> will work.
> The wildcard ('*') should always be the last in the cnames:
>      "*.db.example.com = /"  will match all cname on top of db
> examples to the root of the machine. (for now no rewriting is
> possible).
> By default vhosts redirection is handle by the function
> couch_httpd_vhost:redirect_to_vhost, but you could pass per vhost a
> specific function :
>      "*.domain.com" = {Module, Func}"
> The function take the Mochiweb Request object and should return a new
> Mochiweb Request object.
> You could also change the default function to handle request by
> changing the setting `redirect_vhost_handler` in `httpd` section of
> the Ini:
>       [httpd]
>       redirect_vhost_handler = {Module, Fun}
> The function take 2 args : the mochiweb request object and the target
> path.
