Description

[server config, or within <Directory> or <VirtualHost>, or .htaccess]

Used to build a self-referential URL. If on, Apache uses the <ServerName> and <Port> directives to build a URL representing itself. If off, Apache attempts to construct its URL from the client parameters, which is typical when using the VirtualHost directive to represent different addresses.

(Apache 1.3 or later)
