NAME

Plack::Middleware::TrailingSlash - Append a trailing slash to GET requests whenever it is missing

SYNOPSIS

builder {
  enable 'TrailingSlash';
};

DESCRIPTION

Redirect to a path containing the trailing slash if the path looks like a directory

The Catalyst Perl MVC framework matches the requested URL to an action both with and without the trailing slash. For example both /company/contact and /company/contact/ go to the same action and same template.

This module redirects the requests without the trailing slash (ie. /company/contact) to the same URL with the trailing slash added (ie. /company/contact/).

Redirects are done permanently to avoid duplicate content in search indexes, but is given a max age of 3600 to prevent browsers from caching the redirect indefinitely.

PARAMETERS

ignore

A string or an array reference with a list of paths to ignore the trailingslash handling.

builder {
  enable 'TrailingSlash', ignore => [qr/^\/foobar\//];
};

builder {
  enable 'TrailingSlash', ignore => [ qr/^\/foobar\//, qr/^\/lolcat\// ];
};
