Enabling a WebSphere Web Server to Determine which Port Number to use for Virtual Host Matching.
 Technote (FAQ)
 
Problem
Prior to the availability of APAR PQ76375, virtual host matching was done logically using the port number from the host header.
 
 
Solution
If you have APAR PQ76375 installed on your WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS® V4.0.1 system, you can add the VHostMatchingCompat element to the plugin-cfg.xml file for your WebSphere Application Server Web server plug-in to enable virtual host matching to be done physically using the port number in which the request was received.

The following description of this element will be added to the section "Properties of WebSphere plug-ins for Web servers" in Chapter 8 of WebSphere Application Server
V4.0.1 for z/OS: Assembling J2EE Applications, SA22-7836-06.

VHostMatchingCompat(zero or one attribute for each Config)
This attribute determines how Virtual Host matching is performed. If this element is set to true, matching is done physically, using the port number in which the request was received. If this element is set to false or is not included in the plugin-cfg.xml file, matching is done logically, using the port number from the host header. The default is false.
