Package: webalizer
Version: 2.23.05-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream
Hello,
Trying to group the google sites with webalizer is hell as its matching
algorithm is primitive. For example:
www.google.co.uk, www.google.com and www.google.ie cannot be catched by using
something like www.google.*
The attached (quick) patch allows perl regular expressions for advanced
matching and allows rules like:
GroupReferrer @www\.google\..* Google
GroupReferrer @[a-zA-Z\.]*freecode\.com/.* Freecode
regards,
Nikos
