Hi all, I'm looking for the best approach for matching the first part of a URL in ACLs. Some examples of the types of URLs include:
Backend 1 (application context-path = /web) http://hostname:port/web http://hostname:port/web/form.html Backend 2 (application context-path = /webservices) http://hostname:port/webservices/serviceA http://hostname:port/webservices/serviceB The following approach for ACLs would only work if the ACL that matches /webservices comes before the one for /web. Ideally I don't want to have to enforce this type of constraint as we have 70+ URL patterns for one frontend and this type of restriction could be error-prone as more patterns are added over time. Won't work acl backend1_acl path_beg /web acl backend2_acl path_beg /webservices use_backend1 if backend1_acl use_backend2 if backend2_acl Will work acl backend1_acl path_beg /web acl backend2_acl path_beg /webservices use_backend2 if backend2_acl use_backend1 if backend1_acl Is there some straight forward solution that I'm missing? Perhaps a regex is the only way to enforce a concrete rule? Any suggestions? Many thanks for your help.
