You can use shell-style pattern matching characters *, ?, \, and [] in the pattern.
!LRR!: Match any request that results in a Local Response Redirect action.
!LOCATION! <pattern>: Match the returned location HTTP header. You can use shell-style pattern matching characters *, ?, \, and [] in the pattern.

Default value
