hide port

Post by richard015ar »

Hi all;
Anyone know a way to hide the URL port?
eg xxxxx.xxxxx.com: 8087

Is this possible?
thanks

If it was hidden, no one could connect to you. If you use port 80, which is the default port for HTTP, then it doesn't need to be included in the URL. Of course, that only works if you aren't running another web server on the same IP/domain.

I want my players could connect to a URL like this:
www.mysite.com/game
Is there any way that the player has to do the port? just hide it.

I should mention, you can also do what I did with my demo site and embed the player client in an iframe on another web page:

http://www.pm-demo.com

However, if you use the View Source feature in your browser, you will see the poker server URL.

Port 80 is the only real way. And it's not really hidden, it's just the default port for web sites.

This is perfect!
At least you will know a little more laborious port.

Thanks Kent.

I think the better way is using a domain for the game, for example if your site call www.tupoker.com, buy a domain www.tupoker.info (this domain cost 5$), then point this domain to your windows server, or if your web site and the poker server is in the same machine, only you need to create the sub domain
