texte = Hi Morten, I used to do this by port as well.. But I had to use SSI as WebDNA doesn't have SERVER_PORT. In the old versions of webcatalog I was able to process SSI before or after webdna (my choosing). The newer versions don't seem so integrated with SSI. It seems there really are only two ways of checking against this.. PORT or by the URL (looking for the "s" in HTTPS). There is no [serverport] context in webdna and [thisurl] does not show the protocol.. so... I dunno.. anyone else have a good webdna solution? If not, it seems we will have to run a separate CGI just for this lil task...
