regex match extensionless url with or without query parameter

Question

I'm trying to match extension-less url with or without query parameter. So far .+\/[^.\/]*$ matches some of them but it fails when . is present in query parameters

For example what i want is

http://www.example.com/ -> MATCH
http://www.example.com/abc -> MATCH
http://www.example.com/abc/def/ -> MATCH
http://www.example.com/abc/def.ext/ -> MATCH
http://www.example.com/abc?param=abc.def -> MATCH
http://www.anything.com/abc/def.ext/?param=abc.ext -> MATCH

http://www.example.com/abc.ext -> DONT MATCH
http://www.example.com/abc/def.ext -> DONT MATCH
http://www.anything.com/abc/def.ext?param=abc -> DONT MATCH
http://www.anything.com/abc/def.ext?param=abc.def -> DONT MATCH

The answers provided in How to match only extensionless URLs? fails when . or / are present in query parameters key or value. I've tried with many patterns but couldn't get desired result.

I am noob in regex. Please help.

What language/tool are you using? What have you tried? What didn't work? What did you get? What did you expect? — Toto, Nov 15 '18 at 17:12
@Toto, In my case i was trying in js. are not regular expressions are common to most of the languages, e.g. js, java, php.? — Dr. DS, Nov 15 '18 at 17:39
No, they are not. See: https://stackoverflow.com/q/22937618/372239 and https://www.regular-expressions.info/tools.html — Toto, Nov 15 '18 at 17:43
Few of my expressions was .+\/[^.\/]*$, .+\/[^.\/]*\?.*$, .+\/[^.\/]*(|\?.*)$, .+\/[^.\/]*(|\?.*[^.]*)$ — Dr. DS, Nov 15 '18 at 17:44
@Toto Same is written on the stackoverflow link you shared *.. these languages share the same syntax.* — Dr. DS, Nov 15 '18 at 17:46
