Issue with -mr and -er options in httpx 1.6.5

In httpx 1.6.5, the features of -mr or -er seem to be causing errors and cannot be used. The error message indicates an issue with parsing the regex, which did not occur in version 1.6.3.

Output from version httpx 1.6.5

How can this issue be resolved?

We recently introduced support for multiple values and , in your regex causing this error. Can you retry with

'`(SIMP[A-Z0-9]{12,24}|simper-curs)`'

?

this is working, thanks for giving a little direction.

for use `` might make me a little more adaptable from here. but it's okay it's still easy to do.

solved with

httpx -mr '`(SIMP[A-Z0-9]{12,24}|simper-curs)`'
