Allow wildcars in whitelist #31

I have troubles at host based whitelist. Because, now "Google Calender" and "Google Reader" and "Google search" etc... are same host. I hope to have a whitelist about URI with wildcard like setting of FaviconizeTab addon.

For example.

I want to not unload "Google Calender" http://www.google.com/calendar/*
I want to unload "Google Reader" http://www.google.com/reader/* or other google sites

BarTap ver 1.4.2

I too would like to have this functionality.

I am willing to work on the code to add this, but I'm new on firefox extensions.

I looked at the code and this seems not so hard to do, but I still have an issue: How do we handle the transition between old preferences and new ones, since the data in the prefs was a list of hostnames, and would become a list of regexp (or a list of url with wildcard "*")?

Sorry for the late follow-up. Thanks for offering to work on this! Though I don't think regular expressions makes for a good UI. What we want to do is provide a simple wildcard mechanism. I've started working on this, stay tuned!

Add my vote for wild card in URL whitelist. It would help with some image hosters like imagevenue.com and hotlinkimage.com (img210.imagevenue.com, img362.hotlinkimage.com) the domain prefix could simply be *rd out.

Hope this functionality comes soon.
