Description

Greetings!

When trying to add a source URI path containing a colon (:) through the backend module the validation fails, because it is not allowed in the regex /^[a-z0-9_\-\/\.%]+$/i.
It is possible to do it via commands:

./flow redirect:add --source 'category/subject:mysubject' --target 'category/subject:othersubject'

Although the colon is used in URIs for the protocol (like https://) or the port (like :80), it appears to be fine for usage in the URI path.

Related: In https://github.com/neos/redirecthandler-ui/issues/101 it was proposed to have the regex only in one place, not two.

Thank you.

Research direction

Start by locating the backend module validation that uses /^[a-z0-9_\-\/%]+$/i and compare it with the command entry point ./flow redirect:add. Check the related issue 101 for the duplicated-regex context. Done means source URI paths containing : are accepted through the backend while existing URI validation remains intact.
