How to write pattern to match LAN addresses? (192.168.*)

[Ayuilos]

Hi, I'm an average developer with not rich experience, my problem is when I try to write a pattern to match LAN ip hostname, the result is not what I want.

let pt = new URLPattern("http://192.168.*:*")
pt.hostname // '192.0.0.168*'

Yeah, I think this is an issue with how we currently canonicalize hostname parts. It might be one we're able to resolve if nobody is yet depending on the current behavior. I made a note of it in an issue comment somewhere, but it might not have its own separate issue, so filing one would be a good idea.

This can be worked around (at least, in contexts where you aren't restricted to patterns which do not have regexp groups, by using that to avoid canonicalization:

new URLPattern({protocol: 'http', hostname: '(192\\.168).*'})
new URLPattern('http://(192\\.168).*:*')

In fact, filed #259 so it's tracked more clearly.

Thanks, this works for me.

new URLPattern('http://(192\\.168).*:*')
