OK.

I understand that this is to keep track of the length of the longest one that has matched (hence the current candidate). The name "maxlen" captures the "longest" part, but "has matched" is somehow lost.

Can we have a better name here please, or at least a comment to clarify what this variable keeps track of.

Overlong lines that are somewhat hard to read.

Avoid defining a macro _inside_ a function. Also if you can make it a static function, that would be much easier to read.

Yikes. http_options_url_match_prefix() could take a counted string to config_url to avoind this repeated allocation and deallocation, no?
