Hi,
I am using the following for my shared hosting:
Platform Type: Windows 2003 Server Enterprise
IIS Version: 6.0
PHP Version: 5.2.5 |
|
The resource has a httpd.ini file located in the root directory. I have multiple domains and each domain has the following rules:
[ISAPI_Rewrite]
### subdomain redirect v2 ###
RewriteCond Host: (?:.+\.)?dev\.example\.com
RewriteCond URL ^/example.com/(.*)
RewriteCond METHOD GET
RewriteRule ^/example.com/(.*) /$1 [I,R]
RewriteCond Host: (?:.+\.)?dev\.example\.com
RewriteCond METHOD POST
RewriteRule ^/example.com/(.*) /$1 [I]
RewriteCond Host: (?:.+\.)?dev\.example\.com
RewriteRule (.*) /example.com/$1 [I,L] |
|
I am trying to understand why all requests to a subfolder always perform a 302 redirect, appending a trailing slash.
Subdirectory WITHOUT trailing slash
dev.example.com/test
redirects to
dev.example.com/test/ |
|
When I navigate to the domain itself, it does not append a trailing slash:
Root Domain WITHOUT trailing slash
dev.example.com
does NOT redirect to
dev.example.com/ |
|
Instead the trailing slash is REMOVED when navigating to the domain with the trailing slash appended:
Root Domain WITH trailing slash
dev.example.com/
redirects to
dev.example.com |
|
When I observe the headers I see the following:
HTTP/1.1 302 Object moved
Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0 |
|
My resource is located within my hosting account at the following path from the root:
My main questions are as follows:
1) Could someone explain the ISAPI Rewrite rule above in simple terms?
2) Is the above ISAPI rule responsible for appending/removing the trailing slash as outlined above?
3) I have hosted in multiple environments, but the above behaviour appears isolated to the server environment I am currently hosted on. Is there any way I can prevent the trailing slash from being appended?
Please note the purpose is to ensure no redirects occur when I request a resource that does not end in a trailing slash for SEO.
Thanks in advance.
