Description

It would be great to store capture groups specified in the regex of the "Allowed paths" property of the HandleHTTPRequest processor.
It could allow to easily create a REST API, as we could specify some parameters in the URL that would be automatically parsed.

Ex :

^\/device\/([-\w\d]+)\/data$

Would accept the URL

http://localhost/device/01/data

and automatically create the attribute

http.request.params.1 = "01"
