[erlang-questions] Nitrogen on several ports

[John Hughes]

Hi Jesse,

Thank you! That sounds like just what I need. I didn't realise wf:socket() 
would tell me the socket type--very useful!

I am actually using Apache as a reverse proxy to forward port 80 to 8000 
already... my problem is I want to access the *same page* (i.e. same .erl 
file) through http and https, and see different options in each case. I 
suppose I could make two different pages, but that would be more complex and 
less maintainable however I did it (code duplication or a more complex 
module structure). I'm not sure nginx would really solve that problem for 
me.

John

Hi John,

You can get the socket from Nitrogen and from the socket determine its type:

In code that could be something like

is_ssl() ->
   Socket = wf:socket(),
   is_tuple(Socket) andalso element(1,Socket)=:=sslsocket.

Though I personally prefer to throw nginx in front of Nitrogen deal
with that kind of routing (URL-based, anyway).
