[albatross-users] SERVER_NAME vs HTTP_HOST?

[Damien Elmes]

Howdy folks,

I've just started playing with albatross, and I quite like it.

One problem I've run into is that I do testing via HTTP tunneling over
ssh - the hostname I surf to isn't the SERVER_NAME which is used in
request's get_uri().

The following change seems to correct the problem for me, but I do not
know if it will have unintended consequences. Any thoughts?
