Product Map Feature Not Tracking Events. Resolved with URL Rule issue but needs warning.

Thanks for posting @Ashton!  This looks more like a bug to me, so thank you for calling this out here and for providing the workaround.

There is actually a much more narrow case here, so I’ll add some additional details.

In general, using a wildcard followed by a dot is a fine way to wildcard a subdomain. If my url scheme is accountName.domain.com, I can write a universal rule for that by using *.domain.com No issues with that at all; the *. at the beginning of the rule works just fine.

The issue you encounter was in the specific and limited case of www.domain.com . PX strip www. out of all urls so that www.domain.comn and domain.com are auto resolved. So whether your url is  www.domain.comn and domain.com, PX consumes doimain.com. If www. is treated like a subdomain in a rule, like (*.domain.com), the rule will fail because the dot is stripped. Basically you can always ignore www. in a url, because PX will strip it out. No need to address it.

Again, any other subdomain is unaffected here so subdom.domain.com can be matched to *.domain.com.

Hopefully that clarifies the scope a bit

now with fewer typos: 

The issue you encountered was in the specific and limited case of www.domain.com . PX strips www. out of all urls so that www.domain.com and domain.com are auto resolved. So whether your url is  www.domain.com or domain.com, PX consumes domain.com. If www. is treated like a subdomain in a rule, like (*.domain.com), the rule will fail because the dot is stripped. Basically you can always ignore www. in a url, because PX will strip it out of both the incoming event and the rule. No need to address it.
