Hi,
Delphi gets the VHOST of the web server into the application code, so you could
just use that. No need for “cross-site” cookies. I would personally keep the
logo and CSS in the sub.domain and then simply refer to them:
http://sub.domain.com/ <— that is the index call right
Your Logo would then be at:
<img src=“/images/logo.png”/>
While you CSS would be something like “/styles/main.css”
As for your idea of the common pages - are you planning on having a app.exe or
something like that, sitting in say http://common.domain.com ?
If so, then you need to either proxy all the requests or iframe them. There is
a trick you can do with a referrer, where by you can just redirect the user
from the sub.domain to common.domain and capture the referrer, but this sounds
ugly….and I am not sure it will be what you want.
The way I am assuming you want to do it is to have 1 VHOST, with a bunch of
aliases. This way you have one place where you drop your code. Then you need to
look at the VHOST to serve the correct CSS/Logo. You will need to store this
somewhere and then work out a way to give it to the client.
I am not sure if you are aware, but Delphi can serve “other” files, as long as
the correct content types are set. It’s something like:
headers (“Content-Type: image/png”);
Dump the file to standard out
P.S. My web coding under Delphi is aged - things might have changed a lot by
now, but hopefully this will give you some pointers :)
Cheers,
Pieter
