Same name and namespace in other branches

1. 9 core/lib/Drupal/Core/DrupalKernel.php \Drupal\Core\DrupalKernel::setupTrustedHosts()

Sets up the lists of trusted HTTP Host headers.

Since the HTTP Host header can be set by the user making the request, it is possible to create an attack vectors against a site by overriding this. Symfony provides a mechanism for creating a list of trusted Host values.

Host patterns (as regular expressions) can be configured through settings.php for multisite installations, sites using ServerAlias without canonical redirection, or configurations where the site responds to default requests. For example,

$settings['trusted_host_patterns'] = array(
  '^example\\.com$',
  '^*.example\\.com$',
);

Parameters

\Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request $request: The request object.

array $host_patterns: The array of trusted host patterns.

Return value

bool TRUE if the Host header is trusted, FALSE otherwise.
