This PR adds support for wildcard characters in IPv6 address ranges, as discussed in matomo-org/matomo#9411. The support is analogous to IPv4 where
*
can replace a single group of digits and must appear at the end of the address.This implementation rejects some previously allowed but unintended (and poorly behaved) IPv4 address ranges, such as ones which included digits in the same group as a wildcard character (e.g.
192.168.1*.1*2
,192.168.1.2*
) or included both wildcards and a subnet size (e.g.192.168.*.*/24
). It also requires the subnet size to be numeric. If either of these is contentious, I can rework/remove them or submit as a separate PR.Thanks for considering,
Kevin
