Darran Lofthouse commented on WFWIP-102:
----------------------------------------

I suspect further changes would be unlikely as this could already be in use on CD releases.

>         Environment: Wildfly build with undertow and wildfly-core modules build from following sources:

> Way of configuration of {{sni-mapping}} element in {{server-ssl-sni-context}} is not nice from UX and also does not conform the way it is generally used.
> With current implementation administrator has to use following notation:
> {code}
> .*\.example\.com
> {code}
> This is standard reg-exp notation and is not for easy reading. I think following notation is much better and also is commonly used for this cases:
> {code}
> *.example.com
> {code}
> In other words - simple asterisk is used to match any subdomain and dot in our case does not stand for 'any single character'. Note that is the way it was described in [analysis document|https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly-proposals/pull/67/files#diff-1034d0e71917578a57f62abf7205a43dR49].
> Truth is that with this change we loose some flexibility, e.g. administrator won't be able to configure following:
> {code}
> www\.exa.ple\.com
> {code}
> But I doubt this is a common use case. WDYT?
