Comment (by teor):

 This is a known issue:

 {{{
         This rule is off by default because it caused so many aspects of
 the
         Amazon site to break; see the mailing list archives for details.
         Currently being fixed...

         Amazon appears to operate in 7 countries, and does not hold the
 domains
         for some others, like .se or .be.  In other cases there is an
 http-only site
         that redirects to one of these 7 countries.


         amazon.com:

                 Does work:

                         - ap/           (appears to be purchase-management
 related)
                         - ([\w-]+/)?dp/ (i.e. dp/ possibly preceeded by
 title)
                         - e/\w{10,10}/  (i.e. e/ followed by ASIN)
                         - gp/cart
                         - gp/css
                         - gp/feature.html
                         - gp/redirect.html
                         - gp/registry/wishlist

                 Doesn't work:

                         - $                     (i.e. homepage)
                         - ([\w-]+/)?b/          (i.e. b/ preceeded by
 category)
                         - exec/obidos/ASIN/
                         - ([\w-]+/)gp/          (i.e. gp/ possibly
 preceeded by title)
                         - gp/goldbox($|\?)
                         - gp/kindle/pc($|\?)
                         - gp/pdp/profile($|\?)
                         - gp/product/
                         - gp/richpub/syltguides/byauthor($|\?)
                         - Help/
                         - l/
                         - s/


         amazon.cn:

                 Doesn't work:

                         - Everything?

         amazon.ca:

                 Does work:

                         everything except...

                 Doesn't work:

                         /mn/search/


         Partially covered domains:

                 - askville.amazon.com   (pages redirect to SendToHttp.do)
