This commit revises the Integration Testing chapter to reference the
"Spring Framework Artifacts" wiki page instead of the nonexistent
"Dependency Management" section of the reference manual.
Closes gh-35890
(cherry picked from commit 45c1cd9295)
Prior to this commit, gh-35213 allowed wildcard path elments at the
start of path patterns. This came with an additional constraint that
rejected such patterns if the pattern segment following the wildcard one
was not a literal:
* `/**/{name}` was rejected
* `/**/something/{name}` was accepted
The motivation here was to make the performance impact of wildard
patterns as small as possible at runtime.
This commit relaxes this constraint because `/**/*.js` patterns are very
popular in the security space for request matchers.
Closes gh-35686
This commit improves the reference document to better reflect the
different between `*` or `{name}` on one side, and `**` or `{*path}` on
the other.
The former patterns only consider a single path segment and its content,
while the latter variants consider zero or more path segments. This
explains why `/test/{*path}` can match `/test`.
Closes gh-35727
Previous commit 81ea35c726 in main for 7.0
should have been applied in 6.2.x first for 6.2.1.
This commit applies the changes in 6.2.x as intended,
effective as of 6.2.13.
Closes gh-33974
Prior to this commit, the `PathPattern` and `PathPatternParser` would
allow multiple-segments matching and capturing with the following:
* "/files/**" (matching 0-N segments until the end)
* "/files/{*path}" (matching 0-N segments until the end and capturing
the value as the "path" variable)
This would be only allowed as the last path element in the pattern and
the parser would reject other combinations.
This commit expands the support and allows multiple segments matching at
the beginning of the path:
* "/**/index.html" (matching 0-N segments from the start)
* "/{*path}/index.html" (matching 0-N segments until the end and capturing
the value as the "path" variable)
This does come with additional restrictions:
1. "/files/**/file.txt" and "/files/{*path}/file.txt" are invalid,
as multiple segment matching is not allowed in the middle of the
pattern.
2. "/{*path}/files/**" is not allowed, as a single "{*path}" or "/**"
element is allowed in a pattern
3. "/{*path}/{folder}/file.txt" "/**/{folder:[a-z]+}/file.txt" are
invalid because only a literal pattern is allowed right after
multiple segments path elements.
