---------------------------------
Summary: Better handling of glob patterns in URL templates
Key: KNOX-357
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KNOX-357
Project: Apache Knox
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Server
Affects Versions: 0.1.0
Reporter: Kevin Minder
Fix For: 0.5.0
Currently a ** pattern in a URL template means 1 or more path segment. There
needs to be a way to specify zero or more. It isn't clear if the meaning of **
should be changed or if something like *** should be added to specify this.
Note that when zero or more is supported care will need to be taken when
extracting named parameters because an empty array/list may be returned.
Accordingly the case when a template is resolved and it contains a parameter
with zero values needs to be handled. For example a template like this
s://h:p/prefix/{path}/suffix, if path is an empty list the expansion should be
s://h:p/prefix/suffix and not s://h:p/prefix//suffix.
