          Priority: P2
            Bug ID: 53387
          Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
           Summary: SSI: Allow to use $1 to get result of regular
                    expression matching
          Severity: enhancement
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Windows XP
          Reporter: knst.kolinko@gmail.com
          Hardware: PC
            Status: NEW
           Version: 7.0.27
         Component: Catalina
           Product: Tomcat 7

This was originally reported in bug 48956, but it is a separate issue.

In Apache HTTPD there is such example in documentation of mod_include: [1]

[[[
<!--#if expr="$QUERY_STRING = /^sid=([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/" -->
<!--#set var="session" value="$1" -->
<!--#endif -->
]]]

[1] http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_include.html

Here $1 references the value of group #1 as caught by regular expression.

Example from comment 3 in bug 48956:
[[[
<!--#set var="aux" value="aa12" -->
<!--#if expr="$aux=/^aa([a-zA-Z0-9\-_]*)/" -->
        <!--#set var="aux2" value="$1" -->
<!--#endif -->

Resulting value:<!--#echo var="aux2" -->
]]]

In Tomcat support for regular expression in SSI was added in r1136231 and
r1136399 and is implemented in 
ExpressionParseTree$CompareNode#compareBranches()

Maybe the last used Matcher can be stored in some context, so that it can be
later used to resolve $1 etc. references. I do not know whether $1 is limited
to that #if, or it is available everywhere later until it is overwritten by the
next regexp-matching operation. I do not know how HTTPD behaves here. I think
the latter would be easier to implement.
