Re: [mod-security-users] strmatch vs. pm

[Breno S. <bre...@gm...>]

Hi Nick,

1 -  Yes... the algorithm in @strmatch can be faster than @pm for a single
pattern. However the entire overhead of the engine can make this difference
imperceptible.

2 - This operator now supports the syntax :  | 00 A4 B5|  or  b|65|eno to
allow special chars.

Thanks

Breno
