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.
