You should also translate the URL into regex

  ^http://www\.awprofessional\.com/articles/articles\.asp\?p=363731$

but keep in mind that this is an exact match for the URL. Any variance
from this exact URL will not be matched (i.e. if you add &junk=1 to the
end of the URL you are likely to bypass this)

dstdom_regex looks at the hostname only, similar to it's more structured
sister "dstdomain".

General structure of an URL:

  protocol://domain/urlpath

The Squid ACLs is named accordingly.

url_regex looks at the whole URL (all parts) as a single string.
