Re: [Pound Mailing List] multiple URLs configured on Pound not working

Hello Q.Xie,

we have had this discussion several times on the list. Robert Segall has
already explained why multiple URLs are ANDed:

"There is a reason for it: it is easy to write an OR regular expression,
but AND expressions can be more difficult."
(http://www.apsis.ch/pound/pound_list/archive/2013/2013-05/1367581651000/index_html#1367583174000)

If you want a different behaviour take a look at Joe Gooch's Pound
patches. As far as I know he has written a patch to use a "URLMatch"
directive with "AND"/"OR" value ... (https://github.com/goochjj/pound/)

Hope this helps!
