Wildcards can be setup to use single wildcard functionality or double wildcard functionality in Web Forwarding.
Single wildcard redirects anything matching the wildcard to a specific page:
| From | To |
| http://www.sourcedomain.com/* | http://www.targetdomain.com/ |
This would redirect 'http://www.sourcedomain.com/example.html' to 'http://www.targetdomain.com/'.
Double wildcard functionality takes the portion matching the wildcard in the source URL and appends it in place of the wildcard in the target URL:
| From | To |
| http://www.sourcedomain.com/* | http://www.targetdomain.com/* |
This would redirect 'http://www.sourcedomain.com/example.html' to 'http://www.targetdomain.com/example.html'.
Here's another example
| From | To |
| http://www.sourcedomain.com/* | http://www.targetdomain.com/this/that/somethingelse/* |
This would redirect 'http://www.sourcedomain.com/example.html' to 'http://www.targetdomain.com/this/that/somethingelse/example.html'.
Those examples involve wildcards set in the path of the URL. Wildcards can also be setup on a subdomain of a domain in your account or in the querystring of a URL.
Wildcard on a subdomain
| From | To |
| http://*.sourcedomain.com/ | http://www.targetdomain.com/page.html |
That would redirect 'http://undefinedsubdomain.sourcedomain.com/' to 'http://www.targetdomain.com/page.html'.
Wildcard on a querystring
| From | To |
| http://www.sourcedomain.com/whatever.aspx?* | http://www.targetdomain.com/somefolder/review.aspx?* |
That would redirect 'http://www.sourcedomain.com/whatever.aspx?test' to 'http://www.targetdomain.com/somefolder/review.aspx?test'.
