"URL Settings" bug(?) in Odyssey

Now that've I've disabled JavaScript by default in Odyssey, I have to use "Windows/URL Settings..." to automatically enable JavaScript for some sites I use regularly (which need it). But I've noticed what looks like a bug. For example, the following URL pattern fails to work:

http://*.google.co.uk/*

But this DOES work:
http://www.google.co.uk/*

Is this really just an intentional pattern-matching limitation, or is it a bug? Does this bug(?) exist in the MOS version?

I find out some limitations there as well from first versions, but Fab says its just that webkit have silly url pattern parser, and maybe someday he will write his own code for url matcher, but probably still not.

For example:

http://*.google.com/ - works
http://*.google.*/ - nope

OK, so we don't need a wildcard on the end of the URL then?

Probably, i found that i even add in the readme back in past such paragraph:

2. Why scrtips not works for me ?

You should be sure that you enter exact (1:1) pattern. I.e. with / without www where is need it, and with latest slash.

Like for example http://www.amigans.net/ or http://www.google.ru/

You also can use * for make multiply choice , like:

http://*.google.com/ - with or without www
http://*.ru/ - all .ru domains

Sadly, but WebKit script-parser not so perfect (for example it can't parse normally http://google.*), but that is how webkit parser done for now. Maybe Fab will write his own parser in future, or WebKit guys will update it later, but for now that is how it now. Anyway, that should't be big problem, because most userscripts come with their own whitelist (with the @include keyword), so parser settings it's usually correct by default for.
