Actually, there's a danger in using
/download.html/
in that it will match not only
download.html
but also
downloadxhtml
(Now that's not likely to be an issue in this case, but you can see how it
might be in other cases. If you were looking for a link like
/foo.asp/
would match a link that contained
foogasp.html
if it appeared on the page before
foo.asp
To be specific (and mostly to develop good regular expression hygeine habits),
you would escape the period, such that your regular expression would be
/download\.html/
I AM a pedant, but I've been bitten by that before too, so I hope this
helps...
