Abstract
A mechanism for computer-assisted generation of matching rules for a proposed internal Uniform Resource Locator (URL) to a corresponding possible public URL. After accessing the proposed internal URL from the user, one or more options for a public URL corresponding to the internal URL are generated. Also, a mechanism for testing whether a candidate public Uniform Resource Locator (URL) has a corresponding match to an internal URL. Upon accessing a candidate public URL, matching rules are used to determine whether or not the candidate public URL matches a valid internal URL using any of the matching rules. If it is determined that there is not a match, matching rules that may be used to more closely match the candidate public URL to the valid internal URL are then displayed.

12. A computer program product comprising one or more computer-readable media having thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing system, cause the computing system perform a method of testing whether a candidate public Uniform Resource Locator (URL) has a corresponding match to an internal URL, the method comprising:
-
an act of accessing a candidate public URL; an act of accessing one of more sets of matching rules; an act of determining whether or not the candidate public URL matches a valid internal URL using any of the one or more sets of matching rules; and if it is determined that there is not a match, an act of displaying one of the matching rules that most closely matches. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer program product comprising one or more computer-readable media having thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing system, cause the computing system perform a method for generating matching rules for a proposed public Uniform Resource Locator (URL) to a corresponding user-selected proposed internal URL, and then testing whether a candidate public Uniform Resource Locator (URL) has a corresponding match to an internal URL using the generated matching rules, the method comprising:
-
an act of accessing the user-selected proposed internal URL; and an act of automatically generating a plurality of options for a public URL corresponding to the internal URL; an act of receiving a user selection of one of the plurality of options for the public URL corresponding to the internal URL; an act of displaying a rule generation user interface whereby a user might view automatically generated matching rules for matching the selected public URL to the internal URL; an act of accessing a candidate public URL; an act of accessing one of more sets of matching rules including the automatically generated matching rules; an act of determining whether or not the candidate public URL matches a valid internal URL using any of the one or more sets of matching rules; and if it is determined that there is not a match, an act of displaying one of the m matching rules that most closely matches. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
