Description
Parse source as a host-like token followed by colon and either star or one through five digits.
Web protocol data has several layers: a complete message or URL, individual fields or components, and the literal tokens within them. Delimiter presence, spelling, comparison rules, and parser normalization can affect results. A check of one component needs its stated scope before it can be used in a larger parser or policy decision.

When to use this tool
Use Csp Wildcard Port Source Token when you need one stated URL, header, or protocol-component check in a diagnostic or parser workflow. Supply the input level specified below.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter source. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read host, wildcardPort. Inspect wildcardPort before interpreting the associated values.
Parse source as a host-like token followed by colon and either star or one through five digits. Validate numeric ports from one through 65535, then return host and wildcardPort.1

} Limitations and assumptions
- This lexical source has no scheme, path, or IPv6 support and does not validate DNS label rules or wildcard placement. It is not a full CSP source-expression validator or browser matching decision.
- The field tables state structural bounds; the mechanics also specify cross-field constraints. Malformed inputs and unsupported domains cause errors. A successful false flag, empty branch value, or zero placeholder has the meaning stated above and is distinct from an input error.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use a complete URL or header parser when the task involves an entire field or message. Test actual browser, server, or cache behavior separately when a security or protocol decision depends on more than this component.

Check only a lowercase ASCII host subdomain wildcard; scheme, port and path matching are outside this fragment.
- CSP Wildcard Port Domain Flag
Compare a CSP port selector with an explicit or default destination port; scheme, host and path matching are separate operations.
