>          Components: fetcher
>    Affects Versions: 0.8
>         Environment: Windows XP Media Center 2005, 2 Gigs RAM, 3.0 Ghz Pentium 4 Hyperthreaded, Eclipse 3.2.0

> 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>
