Adding Trailing Forward Slash at end of URL

Server Config
1

I’m trying to get a bit of .htaccess code that will add a forward trailing slash on the end of a URL if it has not got one already but can’t seem to crack it.

I’ve tried

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+[^/])$ $1/ [L,R=301]

Any tips?

Thanks

Your condition says to only apply this rule if the URL matches a physical directory; was that your intent?

Hi I’m using URL’s pulled from the database so they are not physical directories.

I’ve also tried

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+[^/])$ $1/ [L,R=301]

I just want to put a back slash on a link if one hasn’t been put in.

such as http://webaddress.com:8080/example-link
shoud turn to http://webaddress.com:8080/example-link/

m&h,

IMHO, that’s a dumb thing to do:

  1. It changes the directory level and, thus, the relative links within your scripts.

  2. It forces you to use Options +MultiViews which confuses visitors (okay, maybe that’s just me)

  3. It adds a superfluous character for no good reason.

Just WHY do you think this is a smart thing to do, if you please?
