New issue 39 by e.cerv...@sourcesense.com: Strange behavior of wildcards **
http://code.google.com/p/urlrewritefilter/issues/detail?id=39

I am using the tuckey urlrewriter 3.1.0 and I set up the following rule.

<rule match-type="wildcard">
<from>/nl/**</from>
<to type="permanent-redirect">/$1</to>
</rule>

I would simply like to strip away the 'nl' part of my url and leave the
rest, but if slashes are present, with $1 only the first piece is
retrieved. As a result if I consider the http request coming in
nl/blabla1/blabla2?param=3 this will be translated in blabla1

Is this the expected behavior? What shall I do in order to retrieve the
part of the url following the nl/ ?

Thank you very much.

Is this an "issue"?
You should have asked this question first on the mailing list. Filing a bug comes in much later.

Read up on how the wildcard matching engine works here.

A simple solution (with the default "regex" match type) to your problem could be these two rules underneath:

<!-- this is match all your url's with a queryString -->
<rule>
    <from>^/nl/(.*)\?(.*)$</from> 
    <to>/$1?$1&amp;$2</to>
</rule>

<rule>
    <from>^/nl/(.*)$</from>
    <to>/$1</to>
</rule>

A similar solution was posted recently here - http://www.nabble.com/revised-question-td24209680.html
