Simone Gianni commented on LABS-373:
------------------------------------
It turned out that a quite simple addition (inclusion of the outsider in the
key) is enough to support simple XML element matching like <url>. This is far
from a complete XML match (what about namespaces? and the context the XML is
found in?) but is sufficient for 80% of cases where URL rewriting is needed in
a simple XML file.
Also, there is already in the codebase a CSSURLRewritingStream that rewrites
urls inside CSS files when they are embedded in the page by the optimizer. This
CSS rewriter displays the flexibility of the current implementation to be
applied to non markup documents.
A small step further could be obtained by supporting some sort of wildcards in
the keys. Right now keys are matched verbatim against the underlying stream
flow, but this makes it impossible for example to support the content of an XML
element no matters what attributes are present on it, which would be quite
important.
The simpler wildcard (*) could be implemented with minimal code rewrite, as
long as it happens once in the key. Using a full-featured regexp matching
system would kill performances, and reimplementing complex regexp semantics is
out of the scope.
