Regular expression to get specific part of request parameter from Log entry?

I have request parameter in the following format

"POST /upload/sendData.htm HTTP/1.1"

And I want to extract resource name from that which in this case is upload/sendData.htm

Any pointers on how to do this as in some cases the request comes like

"POST //upload/sendData.htm HTTP/1.1"

"POST ///upload/sendData.htm HTTP/1.1"

I am using Java

Try this:

"/POST[ ]+\/+([^\/].+[^ ])[ ]+HTTP/"

Use this:

"^POST /+(.+) HTTP/1\.1$"

Just a guess, but is this what you're looking for?

POST \/+(\w+\/\w+.\w+)

or maybe this

POST \/+(.+)\s
