I too have looked at those lines, of course in our older version
they are only at lines 1296....

FullURL brings its own set of complications.  At least in the version
we are using, domain names were case sensitive!

Simplify.

Use DNS and redirects to deal with teabreads?.com issue.  Don't
try to solve it inside ic.  That will lead you into SSL, cookie
and dropped session hell.  Just because you can be more complex 
does not mean you have to; why use 8 bits when 64 will do?

If SecureURL gives you problems for dev catalogs, just use a
different SecureURL.  You only need to change it once in the
catalog.cfg.  In our case it has to be different because we
never prototype on production machine (or daemon) so the
host and port must be different.
