--- Comment #3 from OlivierW <olivierw1+bugzilla-freebsd at hotmail.com> ---
Hello,

Thanks for your answer!

I currently don't have access to the specific regexes, but they are similar to:
acl example url_regex -i ^http:\/\/www\.example\.com\/.*?\.js

I've tried this one in a VM with FreeBSD 12.1 and Squid 4.10 from ports and I
am getting the error.
I've found I can fix it by removing the lazy quantifier (from .*? to .*):
acl example url_regex -i ^http:\/\/www\.example\.com\/.*\.js

Both regexes are accepted with Squid 4.10 compiled with "--enable-gnuregex".


Maybe I should just change my regexes to remove the lazy quantifier? Hoping
it's the only case causing a problem.
As you said, I'll ask on Squid's mailing list to know what is the right thing
to do.

Best Regards,
Olivier
