Regex doesn't match antMatcher URL pattern

Question

I am trying to ignore a url from authentication I've tried multiple different patterns but java doesn't seem to be able to recognize them. My configure looks like this:

  @Override
  public void configure(WebSecurity web) throws Exception {
    super.configure(web);
    web.ignoring().antMatchers(
            "/api/pies.*active=true");
  }

the string I want to match and have spring security ignore is something like this: http://"someEnv"/"somePath"/api/pies?active=true

however no matter what wildcard combo I try it doesn't match. The match has to have ?active=true

Below is the method def:

    @GetMapping()
    public ResponseEntity<List<PieResponseDto>> getPies(@RequestParam(name = "active") Boolean active) 

below is the class def:

@RestController
@RequestMapping(path = "/api/pies", produces = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)

Use .regexMatchers instead of .antMatchers and then try this regex:

^[a-zA-Z:\/.]*pies\?active=true$

There are plenty of online tools for regex expressions. You can try for example this one: online regex tester
