Overview

The <PathRegex> element is used to apply content rules settings to requests whose path matches a regular expression. The query string, if any, is NOT included in the comparison.

Regular expressions apply to the remainder of the path that is being compared and do not "nest", so if you care what's after the part you're matching, then choose compose your expression to check for thatthe entire match you want.toc
