erex command not working for URL fields

Upas02
Path Finder

I am using Splunk 6.4.
I am able to extract many fields from my data using erex comand. However, for URL fields, the erex comamand doesnt work.

My events-
1470993728.300 44 81.11.191.113 TCP_REFRESH_HIT/200 9403 GET http://www.fastcompany.com/files/imagecache/rs_145_image/files/gadgets5.jpg [email protected] DIRECT/www.fastcompany.com image/jpeg DEFAULT_CASE-DefaultGroup-Demo_Clients-NONE-NONE-DefaultRouting - http://www.fastcompany.com/

1470947922.609 85 147.213.138.201 TCP_REFRESH_HIT/200 1801 GET http://www.educationworld.com/images2/home/homepage_section_profdev.gif [email protected] DIRECT/www.educationworld.com - ALLOW_WBRS-DefaultGroup-Demo_Clients-NONE-NONE-DefaultRouting - http://www.educationworld.com/

I am using the below command -
index="main" | erex domain1 examples="http://www.fastcompany.com/,http://www.educationworld.com/,http://www.lowermybills.com/,http://www.f..." | dedup domain1 | table domain1

This does not give any result.
Is this because of / characters in the URL ? How to solve this ?
Please suggest.

I took your events and ran the query and I'm getting the results. Check this run anywhere sample.
