logical or statement failing

[Glenn Slaven]

Hi Tim,

The problem is you need to escape the question mark in the regex like this:

"^\?oa_social_login_source=custom$"

The question maker is a regex special character meaning "match the previous
character one or zero times.  That doesn't really work with the start of
line character.

You can see this compiling here

As a side note, the req.url will include the slash at the start if people
put in this url

http://beta.jokefire.com/?oa_social_login_source=custom

which would be entirely valid, could I suggest something like this:

"^/?\?oa_social_login_source=custom$"
