Hi @lwouis, I am sorry, but I am not aware of any project for path-based recognition. The scope of the PSL is based on the fact domains have a special name and treatment in browsers and clients, therefore the PSL has a use case. I can't foresee how it would be done the same for paths.
Hi,
We use this gem to discriminate regular subdomains (e.g.
mail.google.com
) from platforms providing subdomains for their user (e.g.my-great-blog.blogspot.com
). This gem is great for that task.Some large platforms don't use subdomains, but instead use the
path
to host contents from their users (e.g.instagram.com/deliveroo
,facebook.com/deliveroo.uk
,twitter.com/Deliveroo
).Another use-case for the path is URL shorteners (e.g.
goo.gl
,bit.ly
). For these, I found this list, but it doesn't have serious backing like publicsuffix.Are you aware of a list similar to what publicsuffix is providing, but for domains hosting user-content using the
path
instead ofsubdomains
?Thank you!
