That’s John Gruber’s regex pattern for matching URL’s (⌐■_■).

This is an example of the old adage that “When you use a regex to solve a problem, you end up with two problems.”

Looks like an URL matcher of some sorts, not limited to HTTP. Kudos for handling parentheses as valid URL characters.

It seems most browsers basically ignore them:

So probably not worth remembering anyway.
Also no encoded basic auth or raw ip addresses (not that a useful website would likely use raw ipv4 or 6 since that causes huge CORS and sometimes even DNS issues…)

Nice. Is there terminal/native running software with something similar?
Other than just running the HTML+JS/TS project in a container.

At first glance IP address or URL, embedded in HTML, whatever it is, it’s a doozy. I wonder what the performance of it is like.

Whatever this is supposed to match, I bet the bycatch is bigger than tuna fishing.
