Hello Deji
match protocol http url "*root.exe*"
means anything can be before root.exe and anything can be after it.
Literally, anything that has got root.exe in it.
Eg. www.apple.com/ipod/root.exe?$t=vgc&$g=mobitel
So it's like the first star character represents anything
"www.apple.com/ipod/" in this case and the other star character
represents anything "?$t=vgc&$g=mobitel" in this case.
Also * character could mean zero occurence
match protocol http url "root.exe"
matches exactly root.exe in the url, so something like
www.cisco.com/root.exe will be invalid because it's got xters before the
root.exe
match protocol http url "webapp/*"
Similarly, this would me, anything that starts with webapp/ with
anything behind. Since * represents zero or any occurrence of
characters, webapp/ would be fine or
webapp/default/gateway.html?$r=bluemoon is also valid.
match protocol htpp url "*webapp*"
This would mean anything infront of webapp (includes zero occurrence
also) and anything behind webapp (includes zero occurrence also). So
http://www.cisco.com/webapp/mean/ccie.html ; also something like webapp/
would be just fine has well
Note that *webapp* will match something like webapp/ since "/" is like
anything behind webapp, but webapp/* will not match webapp2. Hope you
understand
