[TYPO3-dev] Question about condition hostname

[Joerg Schoppet]

Hi devs,

I've a question regarding bug 2300.

In TYPO3 3.8.1 config.baseURL was changed, so that you always have to 
fill in the complete domain.

As solution for a multi-domain-installation there is the following solution:
config.baseURL = example.org
[hostname = test.example.org]
config.baseURL = test.example.org
[global]

But this doesn't work. Why? Well, because of the implementation of the 
hostname-condition.

In class.t3lib_matchCondition.php the condition "hostname" looks for the 
Server-Var "REMOTE_ADDR", and this var always contains the 
client-ip-address.

So a gethostbyaddr()-call will never return the locally used domain.

A solution is not to use "hostname" but [globalString = 
IENV:HTTP_HOST=test.example.org]

But I think this is only a symptom and not the cause.

Regards

Joerg
