Right below the RewriteEngine On
line, add:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R] # <- for test, for prod use [L,R=301]
to enforce a no-trailing-slash policy.
To enforce a trailing-slash policy:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*[^/])$ /$1/ [L,R] # <- for test, for prod use [L,R=301]
EDIT: commented the R=301
parts because, as explained in a comment:
Be careful with that
R=301
! Having it there makes many browsers cache the .htaccess-file indefinitely: It somehow becomes irreversible if you can't clear the browser-cache on all machines that opened it. When testing, better go with simpleR
orR=302
After you've completed your tests, you can use R=301
.
