Help needed to explain the path syntax in system.webServer/handlers

[t-bzhan]

When trying to solve the problem to allow dot in URLs, I found that a lot of people suggested to add below content in the web.config:

<system.webServer>    
  <handlers>      
    <add name="UrlRoutingHandler" 
         type="System.Web.Routing.UrlRoutingHandler, 
               System.Web, Version=4.0.0.0, 
               Culture=neutral, 
               PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" 
         path="/Users/*" 
         verb="GET"/>      
  </handlers>
</system.webServer>

The solutions works, but I had a lot of URLs patterns to deal with. I could of course add a lot of entries, but it does not sound very elegant. I am wondering that could anyone explain the path syntax? If it is based on regex or glob pattern, I might been able to write a general path pattern for my requirements.

Thanks for contacting us. This is not a question about ASP.NET Web stack. @shirhatti do you know where this question should be asked?

Also, we recommend asking this in StackOverflow instead as a starting point.
