} am_resource_match_t;

AM_EXACT_MATCH

AM_EXACT_PATTERN_MATCH

This result is returned if the URL to which the policy applies matches the URL to which access is requested as in, for example, if the URL for the resource is http://example.sun.com:90/index.html and the URL in the policy is http://example.sun.com:90/*. Distinction is not made between an EXACT_MATCH or a pattern match.

AM_NO_MATCH

If the URLs do not match.

AM_SUB_RESOURCE_MATCH

If the requested URL is found to be a sub-resource of the URL defined in the policy.
