[PATCH v1 0/2] urlmatch: allow regexp-based matches

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

Short disclaimer: this patch results from work for a client at my
day job at elego Software Solutions GmbH. As such, I'm using my
work mail address and added a new mailmap entry. I wasn't exactly
certain if the mailmap entry should've been created in a separate
commit series, as it has nothing to do with the actual topic --
I can re-send it separately if requested.

This patch is mostly a request for comments. The use case is to
be able to configure an HTTP proxy for all subdomains of a
certain domain where there are hundreds of subdomains. The most
flexible way I could imagine was by using regular expressions for
the matching, which is how I implemented it for now. So users can
now create a configuration key like
`http.?http://.*\\.example\\.com.*` to apply settings for all
subdomains of `example.com`.

I tried to make this feature as backwards-compatible as it can be
by having the '?' prefix. Older clients will barf when trying to
normalize the URL as '?' is not in the set of allowed characters
for a URL, and for newer clients there will be no change in
behavior for previously configured `http.<url>.*` keys.

Regards
Patrick Steinhardt
