RFC 2068 doesn't contain a regular expression grammar, so of course one must be defined before regular expressions can be used in HTTP. There is one in RFC 2168 "Resolution of Uniform Resource Identifiers using the Domain Name System", but the authors seem not to like it very much - there's a note to the effect that regular expressions are complex and error-prone, as well as rarely useful.
