Add documentation for new wildcard Hosts feature #965
Conversation
We don't need to escape the backslash; it renders fine with one.
This documents support for using a wildcard with the `hosts` option, which was recently added in v0.42.0. See grafana/k6#2747.

Should we delete this line? Doesn't the wildcard below already do this redirect?

It does, but I think it's important to document all ways the feature can be used, and we should keep this most basic way of doing the mapping. The example itself doesn't have to represent a real-world usage scenario. We could always use a different domain instead, maybe *.grafana.com, but I think this is fine.

I'd rather do this. Or test-api.k6.io or whatever. As it is right now, that line in the script doesn't really do anything. So I think it creates ambiguity. Readers will look at it and wonder, wait, doesn't the wildcard already include that domain? Or do I not understand how this works? That was my thought process, at least.

OK. Done in 934582d.
