Delete trailing slash after domain

Question

This is my .htaccess file:

 <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / # Remove multiple slashes anywhere in URL RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)//(.*)$ RewriteRule . %1/%2 [R=301,L] # Never use www prefix! RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain\.org [NC] RewriteRule (.*) http://domain.org/$1 [R=301,L] # Remove multiple slashes after domain RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://domain.org/$1 [R=301,L] # Remove trailing slash in some cases RewriteRule ^(.*)\.css/$ http://domain.org/$1.css [L,R=301] RewriteRule ^(.*)\.js/$ http://domain.org/$1.js [L,R=301] RewriteRule ^(.*)\.jpg/$ http://domain.org/$1.jpg [L,R=301] RewriteRule ^(.*)\.jpeg/$ http://domain.org/$1.jpeg [L,R=301] RewriteRule ^(.*)\.png/$ http://domain.org/$1.png [L,R=301] RewriteRule ^(.*)\.gif/$ http://domain.org/$1.gif [L,R=301] RewriteRule ^(.*)\.xml/$ http://domain.org/$1.xml [L,R=301] # Force trailing slash RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index.php RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)\.css RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)\.js RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)\.jpg RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)\.jpeg RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)\.png RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)\.gif RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)\.xml RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mydomain.org/$1/ [L,R=301] #Removes access to the system folder by users. #Additionally this will allow you to create a System.php controller, #previously this would not have been possible. #'system' can be replaced if you have renamed your system folder. RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.* RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L] #Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file, #such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the #request to index.php RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L] # MIME types AddType text/css .css AddType text/javascript .js # Enable compression AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/css text/javascript text/x-css text/x-javascript text/x-js text/htm application/x-javascript application/javascript application/js application/x-js image/png image/gif image/jpg image/jpeg #Skip browsers with known problems BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html php_flag display_errors on </IfModule> <IfModule !mod_rewrite.c> ErrorDocument 404 /index.php </IfModule> 

But, when I go to **///// , the trailing slashes will not disappear. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

The variable% {REQUEST_URI} decreases when you add a slash when preparing it. Thus, the condition RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)//(.*)$ Will never match, because for a request such as http://domain.org//// , the REQUEST_URI variable is reduced to simply / . Try using the THE_REQUEST variable:

 RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^([AZ]{3,9})\ (.*)//([^\ ]*) RewriteRule ^ %2/%3 [R=301,L] 

In addition, the prefix (leading slash) is removed from the request URI when the rewrite rules are in the htaccess file, therefore the RewriteRule . %1/%2 [R=301,L] rule RewriteRule . %1/%2 [R=301,L] RewriteRule . %1/%2 [R=301,L] will never match, because for regular expression . At least one character is required. When the URI is / , and the leading slash is separated, the URI that is used for matching in the URL is an empty string. Thus, using ^ or (. *) , Or something equivalent to the regex "all that doesn't need anything".
