SLP Virtual Hosts | Non-functional with SRV, or proxied records

[MackenzieMolloy]

Virtual Host (MOTD) doesn't work when the domains are either setup with SRV records or proxied through a service such as Cloudflare.

I did notice there was an issue from 2015 about this, and how it's almost impossible to add, but maybe have a look at DomainAnalysis which tracks domain usage perfectly... not sure if there is any difference between a ping, and a connection.

AFAICT they just use getVirtualHost(): https://github.com/FlowZz99/DomainAnalytics/blob/53db0536aaba1bd564141fe0c0a635788212e71d/src/main/java/it/flowzz/domainanalytics/listeners/PlayerLoginEventListener.java#L37

which is the same I use:

ServerListPlus/Bungee/src/main/java/net/minecrell/serverlistplus/bungee/BungeePlugin.java

Line 183 in 7221f5d

InetSocketAddress host = con.getVirtualHost();

So I would expect it to return the same values.

Odd, could the difference be that with SLP - it's a "ping" and DomainAnalysis is for connections to the server?

As when I enable proxied, or use a SRV record - the MOTD is that set to the personalise/description default.

It seems unlikely but it is possible. In any case, I'm sure that SLP is making use of all the information that is available. If it's not working it seems to be a limitation of the protocol.

What I mentioned in #52 (comment) probably still applies - if you are making use of SRV records you need to match the destination hostname of the SRV in the virtual hosts.

Ah, yes. I got it working (using play instead of play.domain.net) ... might be useful if you could specify that on the wiki. As I myself was thinking with SRV records - it was the full domain.

Sorry, now I'm confused. play isn't a real domain... Could you explain how you set up the SRV/... whatever records?

[MackenzieMolloy]

In the config I sent above, I replaced "play.frozenwaters.net" with "play" and that made it work. I'm using a unproxied A record along with a SRV record.

[stephan-gh]

But the SRV record doesn't point to play I assume? Not sure why the end of the domain suddenly disappears...

[MackenzieMolloy]

This is how I have my records setup;
