I have completed the coding in o.a.t.u.http.mapper.Mapper to implement wild-card aliases.
If a request for a host is made, and that host is not found, the code tests the host and aliases list and looks for wild-cards. So, a host name of www.mydomain.com would match an alias of *.mydomain.com. This additional level of testing is only done if the the presented host name is not found in the standard host list. Once a host is found via wild-card, it is added to the standard host list. Subsequent requests for that host name will find it via the standard search mechanism. As part of the conversion, I re-worked the test harness code and expanded it to be a lot more complete. The output of the new test harness with the unmodified Mapper code matches identically the output of the modified mapper. IOW, I'm 99% confident that the behavior of the Mapper matches the old Mapper. The time differential between the two runs is around 500ms over 1 million iterations. I.E. the original code runs in 8000 ms for 1 million iterations of the testing code, while the new code takes 8500ms. The new code adds approximately 0.05 % to the time for a lookup. I am running the modified mapper code with 5.5.9 on an installation that has 40 hosts configured and it seems to be working correctly. I'd really appreciate it if a committer would get this added to the source tree. The complete modified Mapper.java file can be downloaded from: http://www.mhsoftware.com/~gsexton/Mapper.java If a decision is made to reject this patch, I'd appreciate knowing why. If there's something wrong from a coding or style perspective, I'd be happy to fix things.
