(RADIATOR) Handler question

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Andy -

Yes you can use regular expressions with Handlers, and the first match 
is the only match.

If a request can match multiple Handlers, it will only be processed by 
the first one that matches. Therefore the more specific Handlers must 
appear before the more general Handlers in the list.

regards

Hugh

NB: have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
