Missing `AsyncURIMatcher::iExact` method

What happened?

Wanted to migrate to the new AsyncURIMatcher, but there's no iExact method, even though it's listed as an example here. My IDE can't find it, and looking at the source code, it looks like it doesn't exists.

Side note, exact seems like the only real alternative, but there was no examples of how to apply flags. After some debugging I found an example tucked away in a comment in the source code here: AsyncURIMatcher::CaseInsensitive. Would be easier if there was an enum like AsyncURIMatcher::flags::CaseInsensitive or similar, because the argument takes an uint16_t without hinting about supported values.

Stack Trace

class "AsyncURIMatcher" has no member "iExact"

Minimal Reproductible Example (MRE)

Try following the examples here, specifically this line: server.on(AsyncURIMatcher::iExact("/case"), handler);

I confirm that:

• I have read the documentation.
• I have searched for similar discussions.
• I have searched for similar issues.
• I have looked at the examples.
• I have upgraded to the lasted version of ESPAsyncWebServer (and AsyncTCP for ESP32).

Quick follow up question, what's the difference between prefix and dir? The documentation linked previously is quite long, but doesn't really get to the point. They seem identical, with the exception of a trailing / that's automatically gets added if it's "forgotten" by the developer.

Would like to use dir to match content in a single directory, but it seems to function equal to prefix, which obviously matches contents in subdirectories too. Then there's also this ext method for file extension matching, but it seemingly won't match anything if there's no file extension even if I don't specify any (/directory/ or even /directory/*). I don't want to be rude, but these matching methods seems counter intuitive. Hoping it's just a bunch of bugs.

@JanPetterMG : please have a look at the code like you did and also the examples in the project.

The real doc is the code itself.
This is hard and time consuming to maintain the doc so we do what we can.

If you do really like doc more than reading code, I would suggest you open a PR and contribute to help this OSS project.

Thanks!
