-| If this is not set then CodeIgniter will try guess the protocol, domain

+| WARNING: You MUST set this value!
+|
+| If it is not set, then CodeIgniter will try guess the protocol and path
+| your installation, but due to security concerns the hostname will be set
+| to $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'] if available, or localhost otherwise.
+| The auto-detection mechanism exists only for convenience during
+| development and MUST NOT be used in production!
+|
+| If you need to allow multiple domains, remember that this file is still
+| a PHP script and you can easily do that on your own.
