From the link : http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/manifest/externally_connectable

I want to know what should be my valid matches pattern.

There is little confusion inside 'reference' block :

Patterns cannot include wildcard domains nor subdomains of (effective) top level domains; *://google.com/* and http://*.chromium.org/* are valid, while <all_urls>, http://*/*, *://*.com/*, and even http://*.appspot.com/* are not.

In above line what is the pattern difference between 

http://*.chromium.org/*

and

http://*.appspot.com/*

And So why first one is valid and second one is not?

Edit : when i provide '*://*.mywebsite.com' it reflected as invalid manifest, however the same pattern is given as sample code for external_connectable, means should be a valid valid pattern, But actually validation fails.

"appspot.com" is an effective top level domain listed in the public suffix list. That means that "appspot.com" is treated like a TLD, something like ".co.uk" or ".com".

Further, there is a small bug in the code example in the documentation, "https://*.google.com" should be "https://*.google.com/" or "https://*.google.com/*". A valid match pattern requires a slash to denote the path, omission of it is forbidden.
