Hi.

Can somebody tell me how to exclude a PathPrefix from the Host rule.

I have a service deployed that should have ALL paths accessible EXCEPT any path beginning with /data/ as a PathPrefix.

It seems only possible to join Host and PathPrefix rules using && or || but I cannot see a way to EXCLUDE. Something like  
Host('subdomain.domain.tld') && !PathPrefix('/data/')

Regards

I am afraid you have to play with regular expressions of goland
