2 Title: Subdomain support for Hidden Service addresses
3 Author: Alessandro Preite Martinez
10 This proposal aims to extend the .onion naming scheme for Hidden
11 Service addresses with sub-domain components, which will be ignored
12 by the Tor layer but will appear in HTTP Host headers, allowing
13 subdomain-based virtual hosting.
17 Sites doing large-scale HTTP virtual hosting on subdomains currently
18 do not have a good option for exposure via Hidden Services, short of
19 creating a separate HS for every subdomain (which in some cases is
20 simply not possible due to the subdomains not being fully known
25 Tor should ignore any subdomain components besides the Hidden
26 Service key, i.e. "foo.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.onion" should be treated
27 simply as "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.onion".
