org.apache.nutch.net.urlnormalizer.regex

## Class RegexURLNormalizer

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configured
  - - org.apache.nutch.net.urlnormalizer.regex.RegexURLNormalizer

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Configurable, URLNormalizer

      public class RegexURLNormalizer
      extends Configured
      implements URLNormalizer

  Allows users to do regex substitutions on all/any URLs that are encountered, which is useful for stripping session IDs from URLs.

  This class uses the `urlnormalizer.regex.file` property. It should be set to the file name of an xml file which should contain the patterns and substitutions to be done on encountered URLs.

  This class also supports different rules depending on the scope. Please see the javadoc in `URLNormalizers` for more details.
