Trigger URL with wildcards

[madduck]

Several sites I work with don't have a consistent entrance URL, but include e.g. a UUID or some other data that changes, including date etc..

Could Session Alive please be made to trigger on wildcard URLs too? Thanks!

I completely agree, i have the same problem..
This app really needs a "https://www.website.com/*" option, to include the keepalive timer for everything that starts with that URL
As it is now, it's quite useless for what i need it for

This would be a very useful improvement!
I have problems with several sites not being recognized, and where wildcard in the url would be most useful.
An example is the Aliexpress site (which have a short time before getting logged out). The url have several different formats when navigating. For example: https://best.aliexpress.com/ https://track.aliexpress.com/ https://messages.aliexpress.com/ ...and so on. Could this be solved to allow wildcard in session-alive (i.e. set the trigger url to https://*aliexpress.com* ?

Thanks for a great addon!

the trigger URL should be extended.

i can thing of many options:

• exact URL with query string (for compatibility with current configs)
• exact URL without query string
• regexp on URL
• host
• host and subdomains

maybe a string plus a type would work fine

given the string, type could default to:

• if string includes protocol -> URL without query string
• if string does not include protocol -> host and subdomains

I would have hoped this worked, but it doesnt:
https://x*x.mycompanyname.be/BC/* (I put "x" around the * because it wouldn't show)
This however is seen as valid: https://somedocker.mycompanyname.be/BC/*
Why is this first wildcard not allowed ? We create docker containers where the first part is just a unique collection of letters and numbers.

Please extend the functionality to accept any wildcard at any place in the url, with multiple wildcards allowed.
Also, the https://somedocker.mycompanyname.be/BC/* wildcard doesn't seem to be working.
The Plugin keeps saying no Rules are Running for some reason .. Also pages for these urls are open
