I don't think you can get all scenarios in one regex. You may be better off (reliability wise) creating separate regex. Something like this

... | rex field=fieldextractedfromraw "(?<addtional_info>http.*)\/" | rex field=fieldextractedfromraw "Client invoked\s(?<addtional_info>.*)"  | eval additonal_info=coalesce(additional_info, fieldextractedfromraw)
