2. Redirect using query string parameter and wildcards
   

   Example URL:	http://example.com/index.php?id=12345&a=b

4. Redirect to a different folder using wildcards
   The exclude pattern makes sure that there is only one folder there, so for instance http://example.com/category/fish/cat/mouse/index.php would not match.

   Example URL:	http://example.com/category/fish/index.php
   Include pattern:	http://example.com/category/*/index.php
   Exclude pattern:	http://example.com/category/*/*/index.php
   Redirect to:	http://example.com/category/cat/index.php
   Pattern type:	Wildcard
   Example result:	http://example.com/category/cat/index.php

5. Redirect http to https using wildcards

   Include pattern:	http://mail.google.com*
   Redirect to:	https://mail.google.com$1
   Pattern type:	Wildcard
   Example result:	https://mail.google.com/randomcharacters
