It looks like you hit a very rare case of overmatching. Your host definition "GL[01].\|PRM0.\|INO[01]." contains exactly 3 period characters ("."). WPKG first tries a 1:1 match to the hostname (which obviously fails with your regexp). Then it tries IP matching. Obviously your regexp can be splitted into 4 parts which makes it look like it qualifies for IP matching: GL[01] . \|PRM0 . \|INO[01] . So it tries IP-matching. Unfortunately JScript does not throw an error when trying to parse "GL[01]" as an integer. So finally it thinks that your IP is in range. The work-around for WPKG 1.1.2 is easy. Just add another "." and WPKG will not think any more it could be an IP. So you might change "GL[01].\|PRM0.\|INO[01]." to "GL[01].\|PRM0.\|INO[01].|dummy." Meanwhile I've checked in a change which is supposed to detect non-numeric values and then the IP match fails (as expected in this case). Get it from here (version 1.1.3-RC1) if you like to test it: <http://wpkg.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/wpkg/wpkg/stable/1.1/wpkg.js?view=log> br, Rainer |
