I am trying to run a Component that provides 2 different HTTP services, both using the same domain, but on different ports. The specific ports are configurable, but in my testing, I'm using 8081 and 8443 for one service, and 9999 for the other. So my goal is to route to 2 different apps when I receive requests: go to app 1 on "myhost.com:8081" and "myhost.com:8443", and go to app 2 on "myhost.com:9999".
My initial solution is to create 2 different VirtualHost objects, call setHostPort() on each of them, and let the routing work that way. When I'm using a web browser, this seems to work fine. I have an issue that I can't seem to solve, though. One of my test clients connects using apache.commons.HttpClient, and my server can't route its requests - the routing fails and I get 404s. I suspect it's because the "Host" header isn't being populated properly, but in all my fiddling with the client program, I haven't been able to get it to work. I can continue trying to fix the test client, but I wonder if my approach is the best way to handle this. I also wonder if I'm going to have further problems when I try to run the server with app 1 bound to port 80 and 443. Is the routing going to continue working if the requests come with the default ports? I thought the solution to that might be to make app 1 the components default host, but that seems to break all routing to app 2; it never receives any calls, even when its port number is specified in the request (such as with a web browser as the client.) Thanks for any thoughts! -------------------------------- John Wismar mailto:[email protected] ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=2393472
