Regular Expression for RegexUrlNormalizer to remove jsessionid
--------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: NUTCH-255
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-255
     Project: Nutch
        Type: Improvement

  Components: fetcher  
    Versions: 0.8-dev    
 Environment: Windows XP Media Center 2005, 2 Gigs RAM, 3.0 Ghz Pentium 4 
Hyperthreaded, Eclipse 3.2.0
    Reporter: Dennis Kubes
    Priority: Trivial
 Attachments: urlnormalize_jessionid.patch

Some URLs are filtered out by the crawl url filter for special characters (by 
default).  One of these is the jsessionid urls such as:

http://www.somesite.com;jsessionid=A8D7D812B5EFD3099F099A760F779E3B?query=string

We want to get rid of the jessionid and keep everything else so that it looks 
like this:

http://www.somesite.com?query=string

Below is a regular expression for the regex-normalize.xml file used by the 
RegexUrlNormalizer that sucessfully removes jsessionid strings while leaving 
the hostname and querystring.  I have also attached a patch for the 
regex-normalize.xml.template file that adds the following expression.

<regex>
  <pattern>(.*)(;jsessionid=[a-zA-Z0-9]{32})(.*)</pattern>
  <substitution>$1$3</substitution>
</regex>
