Path Match Method

(QW.PathMatchMethod)

Overview

When configuring a path, use this feature to indicate the path matching method (path-pattern or path-regex).

Examples

Path Pattern Match Method

This example uses the path-pattern match method to enable configuring special processing parameters for requests for manifests (.m3u8 files).

{
  "paths": [
    {
      "path-pattern": {
        "pattern": "*.m3u8",
        "case-sensitive": false
      },
      "path-metadata": {
        "metadata": [
          {
            "generic-metadata-type": "MI.PrivateFeature.Qwilt.QW.PathMatchMethod",
            "generic-metadata-value": {
              "method": "path-pattern"
            }
          }
          // ... other path-specific metadata rules ...
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}

Path Regex Match Method

This example uses the path-regex match method to enable configuring special processing parameters for .mp4 video files or .ts streams. The regex expression says that a request URL that ends with either ".mp4" or ".ts" is a match. Note that the expression defines a non-capturing group.

{
  "paths": [
    {
      "path-pattern": {
        "pattern": "\\.(?:mp4|ts)$",
        "case-sensitive": false
      },
      "path-metadata": {
        "metadata": [
          {
            "generic-metadata-type": "MI.PrivateFeature.Qwilt.QW.PathMatchMethod",
            "generic-metadata-value": {
              "method": "path-regex"
            }
          }
          // ... other path-specific metadata rules ...
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}
