Httpx takes over the front-line position of binding and listening on the public address and port of your virtual Web hosting server. In this role, it scans incoming requests looking for the HTTP/1.1 Host: request header entity. Once the Host: value is found for a given request, it is routed to a UNIX domain socket in the local file system located through a cached database lookup. Over this UNIX domain socket, an inter-process descriptor pass occurs to a Web server modified slightly to receive TCP socket descriptors passed over a UNIX domain socket instead of binding, listening for, and accepting TCP sockets. This allows vhosts to share an IP address while having private, host-specific, potentially unique httpd contexts. License: GNU General Public License v2 Changes:
"Host:" values are now truncated to remove any trailing dots or whitespace before being used in the HostMap lookup. In previous versions, "Host:" values like "www.foo.com." would result in a lookup of "www.foo.com.", requiring rows for both "www.foo.com" and "www.foo.com.". With this version, the value "www.foo.com." will result in a lookup of "www.foo.com", simplifying the HostMap configuration.
