[Chilli] uamdomain / uamallowed

[Henk Kleynhans]

Quote: "As long as it is documented well, everyone will understand." <-
Assuming people read documentation! :-)

I'm happy for uamdomain="google.com" to mean google.com/ and all subdomains,
as it currently is.

And for uamdomain="mail.google.com" to only refer to mail.google.com/

I find this more intuitive and it's important to be intuitive when using 3rd
party contractors who are happy to assume dots and forwardslashes are
optional.

p.s. What's the answer to Wichert's question? Will uamdomain="example.com"
also give access to badexample.com as things are at the moment?

"A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others,
does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a
proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a
greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished,
when others are tortured or oppressed." - Desmond Tutu
