Feature: Allow networks

[niccokunzmann]

I would like to do something like this:

ALLOWED_HOSTS=192.168.0.*

So basically freeing up a network. The ip package has functionality to check that. I think, that would be nice.

Hi niccokunzmann once again!

Could you clarify what you mean by allowing a network like 192.168.0.*? Are you referring to allowing all IPs in the local network or allowing a dynamic range of IPs?

[niccokunzmann]

Hm, I could make this a bit clearer. I can use 192.168.0.1 for example, which would match 192.168.0.1/32 as a network with bit mask. I would like to allow e.g. all clients in a specific network to access the app.

This provides functionality for IPv4 and IPv6, parsing the strings and documented:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/ipaddress.html#ipaddress.ip_network

This is not a requirement for me but an idea of how this can be extended. It seems that not much needs changing for this.

I’m not sure if this is exactly what you were asking for, but I’ve added network support. Now, you can pass something like 192.168.0.1/32 to allow 192.168.0.1 or any other network of your choice.

Lastly, sorry for the delay, I have been quite busy with work
