  • Pattern type: This specifies how Redirector should interpret the patterns, either as wildcards or regular expressions.

  • Unescape matches: A common usage of Redirector is to catch urls like + http://foo.com/redirect.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbar%2Ecom%2Fpath and try to catch the url parameter and redirect to it. A pattern + like http://foo.com/redirect.php?url=* might be used for that purpose. However, if the url parameter is escaped (also known + as urlencoded) then that won't work. In the url above we see that it starts with http%3A%2F%2F instead of http://, and Firefox + won't accept this as a new url to redirect to. So, in cases like these you can check the Unescape matches option and then all + matches will be unescaped (turned from e.g. http%3A%2F%2Fbar%2Ecom to http://bar.com) before being inserted into the target url. +
