Regular expressions in host names.
Regular expressions in host names.
If you've ever looked at software like "dropbox" or any other edge-node service. You'll notice a lot of xxxx##.site.com formatted edge servers. It would be nice to give the ability to do:
Allow TCP connections to port 443 (https) of dl-client??.getdropbox.com
I truthfully don't see a need to have 40+ entries itemized out.
If there is a current way of doing this I'm not seeing it since * and ? currently don't act like wild cards.
Thanks

Re: Regular expressions in host names.
I second that.
Actually, even something simple such as dropbox.com matching .*\.dropbox\.com would be useful.

I would find this incredibly useful, going on essential.

Re: Regular expressions in host names.
I was just about to start a topic with pretty much exactly the same title so I thought I'd just chime in on this one.
While regular expressions would be great, simply being able to allow the top level domain (e.g. example.com) would be great.
For example:
While regular expressions would be great, simply being able to allow the top level domain (e.g. example.com) would be great.
For example:
Code: Select all
o Any connection
o -> Port 80 TCP (http)
o -> images.example.com
o -> images.example.com & Port 80 TCP (http)
o -> *.example.com

This is a duplicate and discussed at length in the thread on subdomains.
So far there has been no comment.

Actually, we have gotten a post from a dev indicating wildcards WILL be in the next engine release:
