Issue/Introduction

There are some Warning messages on VPM when it's installed and compiled. Here are some types of example and, what the customer needs to be done. (The list will be added and increased into the future if needed)

• Warning: URL host has a leading dot that will be ignored: '.xxx.xxx'
• Warning: Given URL pattern includes a fragment ('#') that will be ignored: 'xxx.yyy/zz/#bbbbbbbbbbbbb'
• Warning: URL pattern has trailing whitespace that will be ignored: 'xxx.xxx '

Resolution

Warning: URL host has a leading dot that will be ignored: '.xxx.yyy.com'

There is a dot (.) at the first character, and SG ignores the dot. This results SG actually compiles URL to 'xxx.yyy.com'  
*Removing dot (.) by manual is better solution.

Warning: Given URL pattern includes a fragment ('#') that will be ignored: 'xxx.yyy/zz/#bbbbbbbbbbbbb'

There is a '#' character in the middle of full URL, and SG discards after '#' in it. This results SG actually compiles URL to 'xxx.yyy/zz/'
*Removing # character by manual is better solution, or replace # character to '.' with choosing Regular Expression Match so that it would match '#" character comparing the request URL. To be aware this case not only matching to '#' character, but also all single characters. 
e.g  'xxx.yyy/zz/0bbbbbbbbbbbbb' ==> matched.

 

Warning: URL pattern has trailing whitespace that will be ignored: 'xxx.yyy.com '

There is a space character at the end of the URL, and SG ignores the space. This results SG actually compiles URL to 'xxx.yyy.com'
*Removing space character by manual is better solution.
