Subject: urlmatch: add url_normalize_pattern() helper
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=58880c82feb460015153575dc02b9959e4d8a8a0;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git

urlmatch: add url_normalize_pattern() helper

In a following commit, we will need to normalize a URL glob pattern
(which may contain '*' in the host portion) and extract its component
offsets (host, path, etc.) for separate matching. Let's export a
dedicated helper function url_normalize_pattern() for that purpose.

It works like url_normalize(), but passes allow_globs=true to the
internal url_normalize_1(), so that '*' characters in the host are
accepted rather than rejected.
