Otherwise the effective host name is<br /> the same as the host name. Note that all effective host names<br /> contain at least one dot.<br /><hr /><br /><br /><br />Host A's name domain-matches host B's if<br /><br /> * their host name strings string-compare equal; or<br /><br /> * A is a HDN string and has the form NB, where N is a non-empty<br /> name string, B has the form .B', and B' is a HDN string. (So,<br /> x.y.com domain-matches .Y.com but not Y.com.)<br /><br /> Note that domain-match is not a commutative operation: a.b.c.com<br /> domain-matches .c.com, but not the reverse<br /><hr /><br />.<br /><br /><br /><br /> |
