all characters other than ASCII alphanumerics into "_". The result determines which subdirectory to use for content. If nothing matches, the "default.website" directory is used as a fallback. For example, if the Host parameter is "www.SQLite.org" then the name is translated into "www\_sqlite\_org.website" and that is the directory used to serve content. If the Host parameter is "fossil-scm.org" then the "fossil\_scm\_org.website" directory is used. Oftentimes, two more more names refer to the same website. For example, fossil-scm.org, www.fossil-scm.org, fossil-scm.com, and www.fossil-scm.com are all the same website. In that case, typically only one of the directories is a real directory and the others are symbolic links. On a minimal installation that only hosts a single website, it suffices to have a single subdirectory named "default.website". ................................................................................ the HTTP request URI. Files that are marked as executable are run as CGI. Non-executable files with a name that ends with ".scgi" and that have content of the form "SCGI hostname port" relay an SCGI request to hostname:port. All other non-executable files are delivered as-is. If the request URI specifies the name of a directory within *.website, then althttpd appends "/index.html" and "/index.cgi", in that order, looking for a match. If a prefix of a URI matches the name of an executable file then that file is run as CGI. For as-is content, the request URI must exactly match the name of the file. For content delivered as-is, the MIME-type is deduced from the filename extension using a table that is compiled into althttpd. ................................................................................ stored in the REMOTE_USER environment variable so that it can be accessed by CGI scripts. NAME and LOGIN are usually the same, but can be different. * <b>anyone</b> If the "anyone" line is encountered, it means that any request is allowed through, even if there is not username and password provided. This line is useful in combination with "http-redirect" to cause all ordinary HTTP requests to redirect to HTTPS without requiring login credentials.
