From e4c497a1944f035b3e4e947d9518d947d42d40a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Tue, 12 Oct 2021 17:12:26 -0400 Subject: urlmatch: add underscore to URL_HOST_CHARS When parsing a URL to normalize it, we allow hostnames to contain only dot (".") or dash ("-"), plus brackets and colons for IPv6 literals. This matches the old URL standard in RFC 1738, which says: host = hostname | hostnumber hostname = *[ domainlabel "." ] toplabel domainlabel = alphadigit | alphadigit *[ alphadigit | "-" ] alphadigit But this was later updated by RFC 3986, which is more liberal: host = IP-literal / IPv4address / reg-name reg-name = *( unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims ) unreserved = ALPHA / DIGIT / "-" / "." / "_" / "~" While names with underscore in them are not common and possibly violate some DNS rules, they do work in practice, and we will happily contact them over http://, git://, or ssh://. It seems odd to ignore them for purposes of URL matching, especially when the URL RFC seems to allow them. There shouldn't be any downside here. It's not a syntactically significant character in a URL, so we won't be confused about parsing; we'd have simply rejected such a URL previously (the test here checks the url code directly, but the obvious user-visible effect would be failing to match credential.http://foo_bar.example.com.helper, or similar config in http..*). Arguably we'd want to allow tilde ("~") here, too. There's likewise probably no downside, but I didn't add it simply because it seems like an even less likely character to appear in a hostname.
