request-match

Use this entry to define the pattern to be matched against the HTTP request line, which includes method, URI, and protocol.

request-match = <request-line>

Description

This entry defines the pattern to be matched against the HTTP request line, which includes method, URI, and protocol.

We can also match a request using a host header. Use this option to selectively enable this function for a particular virtual host junction. To selectively match an entry based on a particular host header, add a prefix to the <request-line> with the string [<host>].

The CORS policy described in this stanza will be applied to any cross-origin or pre-flight requests which match these entries.

Options

We can specify multiple entries if needed.

Default value: None.

Example:

request-match = GET /index.html HTTP/1.1
request-match = GET /jct/* *
request-match = [api.ibm.com]GET /login/*
