Entering a URL

When you enter a URL, do not include the domain name. For example, to match the URL:

http://www.example.com/my/page.html

use:

^/my/page\.html.

To match multiple URLs, use the regex alternator (|) operator between each URL path:

^/my/(page1|page2|page3)\.html

If the homepage is accessible through / as well as /index.html, use both URLs by using a pattern such as:

^/(index\.html)?(\?|$)

For the best regex performance when matching URLs, begin the pattern with the regex left anchor (^) operator and a forward slash (/) whenever possible.
