Reg-X Question
In DC RUM, I'm trying to write a reg-x that will remove a portion of the middle of a URL. The Reg-x is matching, however the entire URL is being reported to the CAS.
Here is the reg-x: (https://riportal.zurichna.com/wps/mycontenthandler)..[^\*]*.(/favicon.ico)
Here is the URL:
I expect the portion in between the sets of parentheses to be drop or not reported to the CAS. What's wrong with my reg-x
You might be right - I know in our case, having the slash in the second return value wouldn't return values correctly, even though the checker showed that it would work. There seems to be a disconnect between the Regex verification tool and the way regex actually gets processed on the AMD.
Bob, Josh - actually both regular expressions should work in this case.
Have you checked them using "Extended regular expression test" tool from RUM Console? See results for those regular expressions below:
Does the problem only occurs for resources like favicon.ico? A potential explanation here could be that since favicons' content-type is not on the "active-content-type" list. Can you disable content-type checking for this URL and see if that helps?
Good to talk to you again, Bob! I think we've worked together in the past a bit. We had the same issue with trying to exclude the dynamic session variable here, but I'm having trouble finding the exact software service we were having trouble with - I found a similar one though:

So based on what works here, try:

I remember spending hours on it, and it turned out that it just didn't like the slash to be on the other side.
