What Frederick said. If you read the account_location code, you'll see it's so easy you could easily implement it yourself. All it does is split out the full request domain and put it in easy accessors. However, I'm really wondering if working with domain names like http// frederick.fredericks-long-company-name.my-nifty-new- webapplication.com/ is a good way to go or a really bad one.
