 * Hello,
 * an option to define excluded url extensions as end pattern of specific URLs would
   be great, especially for full site replacement.
 * I have WordPress SEO by Yoast installed and it would be great to exclude the .
   xml (file) extension for the xml sitemap files e.g.

 * Hello. I think that you can exclude from masking all target site with XML sitemaps,
   can’t you?

 * Hmm. I don’t hink I will add this as an option because evil hackers can use it
   to force non masking mode, for example setting url
    [http://evil-site.ua/spam.php](http://evil-site.ua/spam.php)?.
   xml
 * But you can implement this filter using custom parser class

 * You can overwrite function check_exclusions and add there custom exclusion for
   sitemaps.
