Splunk Search

How to return a url only to the 2nd slash?

So, this PCRE regex works in testers, but not on Splunk. 

 

^((http[s]?):\/)?\/?([^:\/\s]+)((\w+)*\/){2})

 

Should return https://someurl.com/first/

BUT in Splunk search, this:

 

rex field=referer "referer=(?<referer>^((http[s]?):\/)?\/?([^:\/\s]+)((\w+)*\/){2})

 

is returning the entire url, i.e., https://someurl.com/first/second/third/fourth/etc

What's the proper way to get what I'm looking for? Confused that this works in testers but not Splunk.
