HTACCESS: Crop Trailing Slash from the end of a URL

Tip by Stefan Trost | 2013-04-16 at 03:54

Today, I would like to show you, what you can write into your .htaccess to remove the trailing slash from the end of a requested URL and to redirect the request to the address without slash automatically.

Simply write the following line to your .htaccess:

RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

With this, all requests of the form:

https://www.askingbox.com/
https://www.askingbox.com/new/question/

Will be redirected to:

https://www.askingbox.com
https://www.askingbox.com/new/question

When redirecting, we automatically send the status code 301 (Moved Permanently). This shows search engines, for example, that only the new URL should be in force.
