Query Rewrite Help

[B.R.]

Your PCRE is not right. You might interpret it in more 'natural' language
as:
<start>/api/app/<anything but '/'>/<anything but '/'>/<anything but '/' or
nothing><end>
The URI /api/app/login does not match it.

You have several ways of addressing that:
- Rewrite you huge, do-it-all PCRE, adding optional, non-capturing groups
- Split the rewriting rule in several versions, each addressing one depth
level (eases readibility/maintenance/performance?)

I would also suggest you avoid using rewrite and replace it with
location/return as much as you could:
