Remove hostname from request

cameronduff — Fri, 23 Dec 2022 11:27:23 GMT

Hi all,

I am trying to use the Generate Clean URLs functionality to remote the hostnames from our dynamic web requests in our services. They follow the format https://host-name:1234/api/url etc and I am currently using the regex ^https?://.*:\\d* to identify the first portion (https://host-name:1234) to remove it and just show the /api/url portion but when I add this as a regex it isn't removed from the url in Dynamic Web Requests for the service, any ideas?

Hi @cameronduff

Instead, I recommend using a request naming rule with the content placeolder {URL:Path} as naming pattern like below :
