<!-- This is the configuration file for the RegexUrlNormalize Class.
     This is intended so that users can specify substitutions to be
     done on URLs. The regex engine that is used is Perl5 compatible.
     The rules are applied to URLs in the order they occur in this file.  -->

<!-- WATCH OUT: an xml parser reads this file an ampersands must be
     expanded to &amp; -->

<!-- The following rules show how to strip out session IDs, default pages, 
     interpage anchors, etc. Order does matter!  -->
