[Zope] getting Apache's UNIQUE_ID into Zope?

[Tom Cameron]

I use the Mod_Rewrite rule with [QSA] Query String Append, to pass the
HTTP_HOST through like this...

RewriteRule ^/(.*)
http://localhost:8080/zopefolder/$1?REAL_HOST=%{HTTP_HOST} [QSA,P]

In this case I am using the proxy function of Mod_Rewrite, You can also do
this for cgi. I can then pick up the value as I do with any query string
value.

I expect you can do the same with any ENV variable. Look at the rewrite
rules in apache for more info.

=>    I am not sure. Probably mod_proxy is not the best thing to pass
