IpHead

SYNOPSIS

No | Yes

DESCRIPTION

The directive affects the domain/IP session qualifying method. When enabled, only the first IpQuad dot-quads of the IP address are used to qualify the user session (along with, of course, the session ID).

This is a slight compromise on security, but it allows non-cookie-accepting browsers, like AOL's V2.0, to use multiple proxy servers.

DIRECTIVE TYPE AND DEFAULT VALUE

Global directive

EXAMPLES

Example: Enabling IpHead

Put the following in interchange.cfg:

DomainTail No
IpHead     Yes
IpQuad     3

NOTES

DomainTail is preferable unless one of your HTTP servers does not do host name lookups.

AVAILABILITY

IpHead is available in Interchange versions:

4.6.0-5.9.0 (git-head)
