The following headers will be present, usable by scripts running on the HTTP server if the scripting language allows you to access the headers.

An PHP example on how to check to see if the call came from the main grid:

<?php
    if ($_SERVER["HTTP_X_SECONDLIFE_SHARD"] == "Production") {
        echo 'You are using the main grid';
    } else {
        echo 'You are not using the main grid';
    }
?>

Odd format for header names

Why are the headers listed as HTTP_SOME_HEADER_NAME, when the sent headers are in the format Some-Header-Name? Is there some benefit to putting false values that match conventions used by CGI, but aren't actually correct?

  • This is because you are looking at a global property with a lot more information than just headers. Some functions like listed below handle the stripping of the HTTP_ information, but you could also just use substr to remove the HTTP_

I am aware that the example given above works, but (assuming that you're using mod_php) this would too, and reflects the real header names:

<?php
$headers = apache_request_headers();
if($headers['X-SecondLife-Shard'] == 'Production')
{
    print "You are on the main grid.";
}
else
{
    print "You are on a preview grid.";
}
?>

Additionally, the current information does not show the capitalisation, thus further confusing the matter. Katharine Berry 09:55, 21 June 2007 (PDT)

Root Certificates

Can someone add a list of root certificates to this article?

I know that Verisign, Thawt, and RapidSSL are accepted, I know that CACert.org is not.
