Remove Traiing Foward Slash using UrlRewritingNet

Question

i'm doing some work on a legacy asp.net and umbraco site. It's using UrlRewritingNet to set up rules for url manipulation.

I'd like to create a rule in the UrlRewritingNet file to remove the trailing slash from the url.

eg. http://www.test.com/index.aspx/ to http://www.test.com/index.aspx

Can you please help.

Answer 1

You can use the TrimEnd() method.

return inputString.TrimEnd('/'); // .NET 2 or newer

or

return inputString.TrimEnd(new char[] { '/' }); // legacy

Answer 2

In the later versions of IIS in the url rewrite section you can set up these SEO rules without having to change code. Just 'add rules' in the 'url rewrite' section of the website:

<add name="noendslash" 
            virtualUrl="^(.*)/$" 
            rewriteUrlParameter="IncludeQueryStringForRewrite" 
            redirect="Application"
            destinationUrl="~$1"
            ignoreCase="true" />
