I don't think this is a string that matches the same as standard regular 
expressions that you would see in IPS or L7 class-maps on an ASA.  Notice the 
phrasing:

R6(config-cmap)#match protocol http url ?
  WORD  Enter a string as the sub-protocol parameter

R6(config-cmap)#match protocol http url 

Of course I've never actually used a full-on regular expression here but my 
understanding is that you are only matching a string in a url which is why you 
do three lines like this:

Router(config-cmap)#match protocol http url "*default.ida*"
Router(config-cmap)#match protocol http url "*cmd.exe*"
Router(config-cmap)#match protocol http url "*root.exe*"

rather than one like this:

Router(config-cmap)#match protocol http url "*default.ida*|*cmd.exe*|*root.exe*"
