In general nginx doesn't use regular expressions internally, as usually there are better ways to validate things. Also, it is expected to work fine without regular expressions, so using regular expressions to validate anything means that the feature won't be available without pcre compiled in. If you are looking for ways to simplify the patch, consider only preserving plain-text secrets, and/or using Base64 instead of hex (as there is standard ngx_decode_base64() function available). -- Maxim Dounin http://nginx.org/ _______________________________________________ nginx-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx-devel
