res_ari.c: Prefer exact handler match over wildcard
Given the following request path and 2 handler paths... Request: /channels/externalMedia Handler: /channels/{channelId} "wildcard" Handler: /channels/externalmedia "non-wildcard" ...if /channels/externalMedia was registered as a handler after /channels/{channelId} as shown above, the request would automatically match the wildcard handler and attempt to parse "externalMedia" into the channelId variable which isn't what was intended. It'd work if the non-wildard entry was defined in rest-api/api-docs/channels.json before the wildcard entry but that makes the json files order-dependent which isn't a good thing. To combat this issue, the search loop saves any wildcard match but continues looking for exact matches at the same level. If it finds one, it's used. If it hasn't found an exact match at the end of the current level, the wildcard is used. Regardless, after searching the current level, the wildcard is cleared so it won't accidentally match for a different object or a higher level. BTW, it's currently not possible for more than 1 wildcard entry to be defined for a level. For instance, there couldn't be: Handler: /channels/{channelId} Handler: /channels/{channelName} We wouldn't know which one to match. Change-Id: I574aa3cbe4249c92c30f74b9b40e750e9002f925
