Core principles

Routing

Domain lookup

When a request is made for the domain alice.p.a.mrhenry.be

HMGET alice.http|domains alice.p.a.mrhenry.be. *.alice.p.a.mrhenry.be. *.p.a.mrhenry.be. *.a.mrhenry.be. *.mrhenry.be. *.be. *.
1) NULL
2) "[[\"forward\", \"alice\"]]"
3) NULL
4) NULL
5) "[[\"forward\", \"client_mrhenry-production\"]]"
6) NULL
7) NULL

The first non-NULL result is used.

Path lookup

When a request is made for the path /images/logo.png

HMGET alice.http|app|paths /images/logo.png /images/logo.png/* /images/* /*
1) NULL
2) NULL
3) "[[\"forward\", \"static\"]]"
4) "[[\"forward\", \"web\"]]"

Again the first non-NULL result is used.
