URL Path Filename

Purpose: Identifies requests by their filename.

The filename of the requested asset determines whether this condition is met. For the purposes of this match condition, a filename consists of the name of the requested asset, a period, and the filename extension (e.g., index.html). An option is provided to indicate whether this condition will be met when the filename "Matches" or "Does Not Match" at least one of the specified patterns.

Key information:

• Only exact matches to at least one of the specified patterns will satisfy this condition.
• The case-sensitivity of filename comparisons is determined by the Ignore Case option.
• Specify multiple filename extensions by delimiting each one with a single space. Sample syntax is provided below.
  index.htm index.html
• Spaces in the filename should be replaced with "%20."
• A filename value can take advantage of special characters.
• Each filename pattern can consist of one or more asterisks. Each asterisk will match a sequence of one or more characters.
• If a wildcard character (i.e., *) has not been specified, then only an exact match will satisfy this match option. For example, specifying "Presentation.ppt" will match an asset called "Presentation.ppt," but not one called "Presentation.pptx."
