---------------------------------------
pull request: https://github.com/apache/sling/pull/6
> Support allowed hosts patterns in ReferrerFilter
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SLING-2870
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2870
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Extensions
> Affects Versions: Security 1.0.2
> Reporter: Timothee Maret
>
> The current "allow.hosts" setting of the ReferrerFilter can be configured
> with a list of trusted hosts.
> In a setup where the list of allowed hosts is expending as the application
> runs, it becomes tricky to keep the configuration in sync.
> As an example, a service which supports wilcard uris such as
> {noformat}
> <userId>.my.service.com
> {noformat}
> would be required to modify the reference filter configuration for each user
> which is hardly doable.
> Thus, I would propose to support regex patterns for the list of
> "allow.hosts". which would still be secure.
> The example above would be configured as:
> {noformat}
> allow.hosts=*.my.service.com
> {noformat}
