Proposal to add ability to use CIDR signatures for IP addresses in coldbox rules

[ryanalbrecht]

Description

I have a need to allow entire subnets access to a particular application. I would like to propose the following changes to allow this. This is fairly a big change due to a new module dependency so would like to hear your thoughts on this.

Please note that all PRs must have tests attached to them

tests to follow

Type of change

I have written and published a new module ( https://forgebox.io/view/ip ) and made changes to cbSecurity to use it so as to allow for CIDR addresses.

I think this looks great. Let me know when you want me to finalize and merge.

@ryanalbrecht is this ready to be merged?

@lmajano Good morning Luis,

Thinking about it I would like a couple more days to work on the ip module. The validation code for an ip address when instating the cfc could use some love.

Will let you know when Im comfortable sending this out into the wild.

Regards
Ryan

No problem at all. We can also assist with your IP module if you like. I know @bdw429s loves that kinda stuff!

[ryanalbrecht]

Sure, I will shoot him a message on slack

@lmajano Unfortunately I have not done any further development, I have been a bit swamped lately. I do actually intend to use this in one of the projects im working on so I will definitely get this code committed soon

[ryanalbrecht]

Ready to commit, is it possible to rerun the tests to make sure all are passing?
