<p>The easiest way to edit the actions files is with a browser by using
and potentially match against many similar patterns.</p>
<p>Generally, an URL pattern has the form <tt class=
- "LITERAL"><domain><port>/<path></tt>, where the
- <tt class="LITERAL"><domain></tt>, the <tt class=
+ "LITERAL"><host><port>/<path></tt>, where the
+ <tt class="LITERAL"><host></tt>, the <tt class=
"LITERAL"><port></tt> and the <tt class=
"LITERAL"><path></tt> are optional. (This is why the special
<tt class="LITERAL">/</tt> pattern matches all URLs). Note that the
"EMPHASIS">not</i></span> be included in the pattern. This is assumed
already!</p>

technique, while the path part uses more flexible <a href=

"_top"><span class="QUOTE">"Regular Expressions"</span></a> (POSIX
1003.2).</p>
<p>The port part of a pattern is a decimal port number preceded by a
- colon (<tt class="LITERAL">:</tt>). If the domain part contains a

numerical IPv6 address, it has to be put into angle brackets
(<tt class="LITERAL"><</tt>, <tt class="LITERAL">></tt>).</p>
