Persisting Host Headers

[nickc]

Given that AC7 forces a page redirect to the "licensed" domain on session start, does anyone have any tricks for persisting host headers to across this redirect? I want to allow alternate behaviors for my store when accessed via different host headers (e.g. http://old.store.com vs. http://new.store.com)?

I don't think headers could be retained unless AC7 licensing code is changed to accommodate this somehow.
A better approach would be to have your old and/or non-licensed domains mapped to your own custom page (or application) where you could do the redirection yourself.

This is more about defining a behavior profile: when a site user visits foo.store.com instead of http://www.store.com, they get targeted ads, products, specials, etc. Can be done using http://www.store.com/foo easily enough - just looking for that extra touch. But you are correct - will likely intercept host header at another site and redirect to http://www.store.com?profile=foo.

Our licenses can have multiple domains embedded. Any domain listed in your license will persist. That is something you would have to talk to sales about if you are interested. If you are dealing with a large number of arbitrary or potentially changing domains, the redirect solution seems more appropriate.
