URL substitution question

I am connecting to a server which adds a session id as part of the server name, for example:

"member.server.com/index.html" becomes "sqz3wjzsg.member.server.com/page1.html" after log in. This means that each time I use OE pro the directory tree changes as the prefix changes each time, and the files I have already downloaded are missed and re-downloaded. So I am trying to use URL substituution to strip off the session part as follows:

URL: http://*.member.server.com/*
Replace: **member.server.com/*
With: member.server.com/*

However when I use the test button to check this rule the URL stays the same. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

You need to keep http:// in the Replace/With rule. So just make it this way:

URL:
http://*.member.server.com/*
Replace:
http://**member.server.com/*
With:
http://member.server.com/*

and test on:
http://sqz3wjzsg.member.server.com/page1.html
