>Description:
We have two virtual hosts set up using IP numbers, ie
<VirtualHost 144.178.164.2>
:
</VirtualHost>
When a simple 'GET /' is sent to one of these, the virtual host settings
are ignored and the software uses the default settings of the main server.
I have tracked this down to be a conflict betwwen the old type of virtual
hosts (which we are using), and the new, non-ip intensive variety.
It seems that all virtual hosts are set to be the new type, which
HTTP /0.9 syntax cannot cope with as it gives no hostname information
via headers.
In the code, the condition statement for checking host type :
Line 1367, http_main.c
if (sar->host_addr.s_addr == main_addr[n].s_addr
&& s->port == mainport) {
s->is_virtual = 2;
}
succeeds even for the old type of virtual host. This causes the search routine,
find_virtual_servers .... to fail.
>How-To-Repeat:
Declare two Virtual hosts using IP numbers, telnet to one of them and type GET /
>Fix:
For our site, a fix such as :
Line 1367, http_main.c
if (sar->host_addr.s_addr == main_addr[n].s_addr) {
if (s->port == mainport) {
if (!strpbrk(s->addrs->virthost,"0123456789."))
{
s->is_virtual = 2;
}
}
}
seems to cure the probelm, as all virtual hosts are declared using IP addresses
