Appendix A CSG2 Command Reference

match url

As a further example, by default the following URLs do not match:

http://www.cisco.com/index.html

http://www.cisco.com/INDEX.html

However, if you have disabled case-sensitivity by entering the no ip csg case-sensitive command,
then all of the following URLs match:

http://www.cisco.com/index.html

http://www.cisco.com/INDEX.html

http://www.cisco.com/Index.html

http://www.cisco.com/IndeX.html

http://www.cisco.com/INdex.html

When you configure URL match patterns for Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) streams, be sure
to account for trailing stream IDs in RTSP stream names. For example, URL match pattern *.mpeg
does not match rtsp://1.1.1.254:554/movie.mpeg/streamid=0 because the stream name has a
trailing /streamid=0. To match such RTSP stream names, use a URL match pattern such as
*.mpeg*.

You can include more than one wildcard in a CSG2 URL match pattern, but doing so greatly
increases the memory used for pattern-matching, effectively limiting the number of match patterns
that the CSG2 can ultimately support. Therefore, we highly recommend against the use of multiple
wildcards in match patterns.

When using wildcards in URL match patterns, observe the following guidelines to optimize the
performance of the CSG2:

Minimize the number of URL match patterns that are applied to a CSG2 content configuration.

Minimize the number of keyword URL match patterns that you use. In general, it is better to use
multiple single-wildcard URL match patterns instead of individual keyword URL match
patterns.

Combine several keyword URL match patterns into a single pattern by using UNIX
string-matching special characters. For example, *.movies_comedy.com/*.mpeg,
*.movies_action.com/*.mpeg, and *.movies_drama.com/*.mpeg can be combined into the
following single pattern:

*.movies_(comedy|action|drama).com/*.mpeg

And these patterns

*.movies_comedy.com/*.mpeg

*.movies_action.com/*.mpeg

*.movies_drama.com/*.mpeg

*.clips_comedy.com/*.mpeg

*.clips_action.com/*.mpeg

*.clips_drama.com/*.mpeg

can be combined into the following single pattern:

*.(movies|clips)*?*(comedy|action|drama).com/*.mpeg
