Host (HttpRequest property)

Target web server (HttpRequest class)

The Host property identifies the Internet site name or IP address of the target web server for the HTTP request. You set the target host by assigning a value to Host, and you fetch its value by referencing it without any parameters.

Syntax

%currentString = httpRequest:Host httpRequest:Host = newString

Syntax terms

%currentString	The string or longstring variable for the assignment of the current value of Host.
httpRequest	A previously defined and instantiated HttpRequest object.
newString	A string expression identifying the host by either full domain name or IP number. If left unset, it defaults to "127.0.0.1" (the Internet loopback address, which points to the host on which you are running).
