Wildcard for Host Subdomains inside a Switch?

Is there a way to use wildcards to match any subdomain for Host entries inside a switch? So, for example:   switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::host]] { "*.domain.com" { Do Something }   ...

hope this could help

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    log local0. "Host is [string tolower [HTTP::host]]"
    switch -regexp [string tolower [HTTP::host]] {
       .*\.a.com {
          log local0. "*.a.com"
       }
       .*\.b.com {
          log local0. "*.b.com"
       }
       default {
          log local0. "default domain"
       }
}

 

simple test:

for host in web.a.com web.b.com web.c.coom; do curl -o /dev/null -H "Host: $host" http://10.2.22.183/; done
