Incorrectly handling leading wildcard

[b4hand]

For the given robots.txt file:

User-Agent: *
Disallow: */test

The path /test should not be allowed.

I've done some investigation on this. It's not happening at the Directive level but at the Agent level where we normalize the paths as URLs. The string */test is being transformed into /*/test before being handed to the Directive object and obviously /*/test doesn't match /test.

@b4hand Hello 👋

I'm currently hitting this issue and this is kind of blocker for me, do you know why it has not been fixed after a year?

I could give it a shot but I did not do CPP since school and I was wondering if you hit something harder to fix than anticipated or just let it go.
