Does Swazoo suport aliases?

Swazoo can serve one or many websites (virtual serving), each site have its hostname and can have aliases.

I want to write a module to allow me to password protect some links under my site

Currenlty there is not support for security in Swazoo. There were attemps to make kind of wrapper resource for security, but that is currently depreciated. It seems that the best way is that underlying web frameworks deal with security, because they know much more about it than Swazoo alone.

Problem solving

After loading SeasideForSwazoo on VisualWorks 7.5, I cannot open a web page

After loading parcel SeasideForSwazoo in Contributed/Seaside, Seaside don't start on a provided address http://localhost:8008/seaside/go/browse.

After inspecting SwazooServer singleton, a site (aSeasideSite) and its uriPattern where aSiteIdentifier resists, you can found it incorrectly set. This site identifier is somehow set by name of my local machine and external IP, but both should be 'localhost'. Or even better:

host:'locahost', ip:'127.0.0.1' port:8008

If you change that site identifier manually and restart SwazooServer (SwazooServer stop; start), it will work correctly.
