Blocking specific URLs in Website Management

I set up website management (as described here) to block specific websites (mainly phishing).

This works completely fine for full domains and when I add a domain it is blocked on endpoints after just a few seconds.

However, the problem is that this simply does not work for URLs even though the article explicitly mentions URLs.

 

To be more specific:

One of our employees received a mail with a link to https://storage.googleapis.com/maliciousapp/index.html (not the real URL of course).

Instead of blocking the domain storage.googleapis.com (which would block all Google storage websites and is not wanted) I want to block just the URL https://storage.googleapis.com/maliciousapp/index.html or https://storage.googleapis.com/maliciousapp/ and all subsites.

The URL is still accessible when I add the full URL to website management and select our blacklist tag (which is configured to be blocked under Web Control policy)

When I remove the /maliciousapp/index.html part of the URL the domain is blocked (and the URL too).

 

Is this simply not working as described in the article, did I misinterpret the article or is my configuration wrong?
