Path Filter (URL Filter)
Expression is a match with the Request URL (or path)
The path specified in the path filter has to be the translated path.
The path filter can also be used as a URL filter. For the URL filter, expression should start with protocol:// (It is recommended to always use it in this format)
In the URL filter, the expression can be the same as the request URL/path. User does not have to know the translated path.
When using a URL filter other than the path filter, you can also filter on protocol and host name.
