The latter, I'm afraid :-). Your regular expression "\.ram?" is

        \ take next character literally
        . that means a dot
        r that means "r"
        a that means "a"
        m that means "m"
        ? that means previous character is optional

In English, you are looking for a "." followed by "ra", possibly followed
by "m". Since "http://www.rad.com/" contains a "." followed by "ra" not
foolwed by the optional "m" so it matches. Why is the "?" there?
