Remote Host Filter does not allow wild-card





------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2003-01-28 19:56 -------
This may be a problem with the documentation.  The RemoteHost valve
uses the jakarta-regexp API, you can look at the docs for it to find
out what regexp's can be used.

For example a '.' in a regexp means match any single character.
To match a period in a string the '.' has to be escaped as '\.'.
Also '*' means match 0 to N number of times on the previous
character or expression.  So '.*' would match any character,
any number of times.  In your case, a leading '*' caused the
regexp to fail because there was no previous character.

Hope this helps.

Patches to the documentation are welcome. :-)
