 Each rule under `paths` is defined by its key describing the expression to match against the request path and a value object describing both the destination to redirect to with detail on how to handle the redirection. The value object is defined with the following keys:
 
  * `to`: required, a relative URL - `'/destination'`, or absolute URL - `'https://example.com/'`.
- * `regexp`: optional, defaults to `false`. Specifies whether the path key should be interpreted as a PCRE regular expression. In the following example, a request to `https://example.com/foo/a/b/c/bar` would redirect to `https://example.com/a/b/c`:
