    Hey,

    SERVER_NAME is used when authorizing the applications, to get the current url of the plugin.

    Have you discovered any bug with this or are you talking about something else ?

    Thank you !

    Hey, thanks for the quick response!

    This suggestion originates from attempting to use the plugin in distributed environments. SERVER_NAME returns a static value based on transient environment endpoints that will eventually expire and break. HTTP_HOST returns dynamic URL’s based on the current request instead of relying on the temporary endpoint destinations.

    Also, would you be willing to include a way for users to compare results of the $_SERVER variable with the domain name set on the site – then run through a series of checks to match them up, and ultimately give the user the option override if nothing matched?
