Re: HTTP Server test environment for RPG

[Brad Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

I like to make a separate instance for testing and live.  Either on a
different port or a different IP address (using a different host/subdomain).

So there would be:

mysite.com (live)
dev.mysite.com (dev/test) or (mysite.com:8433)

Each with their own instance, ip address, library and IFS files.
