Again, I'm guessing that this just isn't going to change, no matter how good the arguments are, unless there is some new syntax that differentiates the old behavior from the new (such as adding prefix and postfix / like /\.0\./ if you want to match anything that has a 0 as either of the middle two octets of an IPv4 address). > As I posted previously, though, it's still pretty bad: how would > you match a /27? This valve can't do that, anyway. If you want /27, you have to list them all out. Note that there is a patch currently under development to handle CIDR masks such as this one: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=51953 > Domain matches, OTOH, might take matches() as least-bad of the > regex types, since the prefix tends to be the don't-care part. I see these as mirror-images of one-another: the implementation fails in both cases by requiring you to add .* to either the beginning or the end of your regular expression. No matter what else happens, it's worth pointing-out in the documentation what's really going on, here. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk6M1PEACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PB0HQCfYpd59y18bJilfBPasp2MRyDl Np0An1NWgVCHEfOWnhz4+PLMiBtTkhne =adNX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
