| Configuring the WSM using Device Manager |
The following table describes how URL string formats are defined for a server to influence load balancing decisions.
any (or no string)
If you don't configure a string for the server, or configure the string any, the server handles any request.
/ (forward slash)
The server only processes requests to the root directory.
For example, the server processes files in the root directory including:
/
/index.htm
/default.asp
/index.shtm
/ <string>
The server processes requests starting with /<string>.
For example, if the server is configured with the string
/images, the server processes requests that include:
/images/product/b.gif
/images/company/a.gif
/images/testing/c.jpg
The server will not handle requests such as:
/company/images/b.gif
/product/images/c.gif
/testing/images/a.gif
<string>
The server processes requests that contain <string>.
For example, if the server is configured with the string images, the server processes requests that include:
/images/product/b.gif
/images/company/a.gif
/images/testing/c.jpg
/company/images/b.gif
/product/images/c.gif
/testing/images/a.gif
