Wildcard path rule backend routing

[brent-robinson]

The documentation isn't clear on how requests will be routed to the backend with wildcard (*) path based matching.

If I have a path based rule for
/images/*

And a backend HTTP settings path of
/myimages/

When I send a request to
/images/image1.png
will it route to the backend at
/myimages/image1.png
?

What if I request
/images/collection1/myimage.png
Will it route to
/myimages/collection1/myimage.png
?

Or will all requests only route to
/myimages/
and ignore all parts of the path matched by the wildcard?

@brent-robinson ,

When I send a request to
/images/image1.png
will it route to the backend at
/myimages/image1.png --> This is correct.

What if I request
/images/collection1/myimage.png
Will it route to
/myimages/collection1/myimage.png --> This is correct.

I have tested it in my environment.

Request from my browser: http://20.44.40.74/images/collection1/myimage.png

Taken a packet capture at the server:
Http: Request, GET /myimages/collection1/myimage.png

Let me know if you have any further questions.
