Did you consider using domains?
Do you mean a new Dokluwiki installation with each domain?
E.g. http://animal.someserver.com/doku.php
Access to the lib/exe scripts is no longer an issue.
Preload.php is used to choose the farmer/animal configuration based
on the $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] value.
All dokuwiki scripts are in one place, making updating
straightforward.
Ah, now I understand. Well OK I agree. Maybe I misunderstood
something completely. But as I understood, this would work perfectly
for a hosted webserver on internet. I plan to create an internal
(personal) webserver using Abyss Webserver on windows (no access to
the DNS server allowed. Therefore it is (at least I think) quite
difficult to create a separate domain (especially in a company, for
a simply computer an entry in the HOSTS file would be enough I
think). And that exactly is the problem: How can I achieve that
Dokuwiki knows each time it is called that an animal started it
without using a specific domain? What would be the best and cleanest
way to do it? Another parameter in the URL?
I guess the circumstances around your farm are unusual, which to me at
least, makes it a poor case for justifying changes to dokuwiki core.
Sorry, when I read "windows and not apache", I assumed IIS(*). I'm
not at all familiar with the Abyss Webserver, but a quick google and
glance at the website shows that it supports "url rewriting".
Rewriting the incoming url allows you to map animals onto the farm.
E.g.
Incoming: http://sub.domain.tld/[animal]/doku.php
Rewritten to: http://sub.domain.tld/doku.php?animal=[animal]
Again, you're back to a single dokuwiki installation and using
preload.php to choose the farmer/animal configuration based on an
incoming value, $_GET['animal'].

(*) IIS doesn't support URL rewriting which makes single domain
farming more difficult.
