Wildcard Matching

Wildcard matching is supported. An asterisk (*) is used as the wildcard character and represents a valid sequence of tokens. If a list object contains a URI such as example.*.com, then that list object matches URIs defined as:

[<token sequence>(.|/)]example.<token sequence>.com[(.|/)<token sequence>]

For example, the URI List Object example.*.com matches any of the following URIs:

  • example.exam1.com
  • example.exam1.exam2.com
  • www.example.exam1.com/path

The URI List Object does not match the URI:

  • example.com

This is because the wildcard character (*) represents a valid token sequence that isn’t present in example.com.
