routes.php and 3rd level domain

[eluser]lerio[/eluser]
Hi everyone,

i was wondering if there's a way to do this:

by typing -> http://word1.mysite.com
apache would call -> http://www.mysite.com/controller1/method1/word1
thus keeping http://word1.mysite.com in the url

i managed to to so by adding this to my .htaccess file

Code:

RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}  !^(www.*)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}  ^(.*).mysite.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/controller1/method1/%1 [QSA,L]

But i was looking for a way to use routes.php instead.

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance

Don't quote me here, but I don't think it can be done. To my knowledge, routes only work with URI segments, not with the HTTP Host, but I'm sure you could perhaps extend the router to do what you want.

Wow, that was fast!

Thanks anyway, i just wanted to leave my .htaccess as clean as i could.
