provides an Allow branch and a fallback branch. The URL Branching action provides these
conditions for defining branch rules.

- The URL must contain the specified string.
- Prefix Match
- The URL must start with the specified string.
- Suffix Match
- The URL must end with the specified string.
- Glob match
- The URL must match the specified globbing pattern. These globbing patterns are supported:
- *Matches any number of characters (none or one or more).
- ?Matches a single character in these sets: [a-z] or [0-9] or [A-Za-z].

To match many URLs, you might
