Wt

I'm using WServer::addResource to add several resources to my application, which works great, but I've found that there are several aspects of the path where I want the resource to be at that I would like to be more dynamic.

Currently I add each resource twice so that I can handle the trailing slash in a consistent manner inside of the resource:

    Wt::WServer server(argc, argv);
    server.addResource(&resource, "/foo");
    server.addResource(&resource, "/foo/");

I also have resources with natural spaces in the path that i would like to use either a dash or underscore:

    Wt::WServer server(argc, argv);
    server.addResource(&resource, "/foo-bar");
    server.addResource(&resource, "/foo_bar");
    server.addResource(&resource, "/foo-bar/");
    server.addResource(&resource, "/foo_bar/");

This is a little laborious. If regular expressions were supported, this could be expressed in one line:

    Wt::WServer server(argc, argv);
    server.addResource(&resource, "/foo[-_]bar/?");

I attempted to do this myself in a sort of meta-resource, but I wasn't excited about re-implementing the dynamic path (urlParams) feature that already exists, and which I already use.
