Hi all,

I wish to use parent.config to control parent selection based on path elements 
in the client URL.  I know this is possible with the url_regex primary 
qualifier, however my question is as follows:

The URL path element in question will be in the client request URL but will be 
dropped (by a custom plugin) from the URL before the request is made to the 
parent.  Does anybody know if the url_regex qualifier applies to the full 
original client URL,  or to the URL that is imminently about to be pulled from 
the parent.  If it’s the latter and there’s anything I can do in the custom 
plug-in to make this work more as I would like it, then please let me know.

For example:

The client facing URL may be : http://my-ats.com/some-element/media/movie.m3u8

The URL actually pulled from the parent : http://your-ats.com/media/movie.m3u8

The url_regex I want to use : /some-element/

So, in summary, I wish to use a token in the client URL that would indicate 
which parent to use, but that token will not be in the URL ultimately pulled 
from the parent.

Thank you,

Nick
