Wei,

It works now!

Many, many thanks for your invaluable time.

By the way, Do you know when the patch will be included in the stable-4.6
branch? Maybe will be on time for the 4.6.2 version?

IMHO is an important patch because of the added security shielding it
provides (allowing the use of stub domains on some cases).

Best regards,

Fanny
