Question

Currently in my solution I have an HttpHandler that responds to an request that contains “data” in the url.

 <handlers>
  <remove name="UrlRoutingHandler" />
  <add name="MyHandler" verb="GET,POST" path="data/**" type="org.myorg.MyHandler" resourceType="Unspecified"/>      
</handlers>

How can I match on URLs containing “data” but have a defined number of segments after the matching segment; say 5?

data/firstSeg/secondSeg/thirdSeg/forthSeg/fifthSeg

Is this possible to configure in the web.config?

thanks!

I believe I have found the answer to my question. I was using:

> path = data/**/**/**/**/**

Double ‘**’ means ‘Everything to the right’. When what I need is:

> path = data/*/*/*/*/*/
