This question will work best with examples.
Say my web app is hosted at http://example.com/WebApp/
According to Microsoft, IIS will redirect if the trailing forward slash is missing. And this works as expected: a request sent to http://example.com/WebApp is redirected to http://example.com/WebApp/.
Now in my case, someone bookmarked the URL with an extra forward slash: http://example.com/WebApp//. This will load the web app as expected but now all the relative URLs are wrong. So if I call another app on the same domain, for example ../AnotherApp/SomePage.aspx, then it will try to load /WebApp/AnotherApp/SomePage.aspx instead of correctly loading /AnotherApp/SomePage.aspx.
How can I redirect http://example.com/WebApp// to http://example.com/WebApp/?

It appears difficult to do this with server side script alone. Perhaps doing a redirect in JavaScript would suffice?
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
(function () {
var protocol = location.href.substr(0, location.href.indexOf("://"));
var restOfUrl = location.href.substr(location.href.indexOf("://") + "://".length);
if (restOfUrl.match(/\/\//)) {
location.href = protocol + "://" + restOfUrl.replace(/\/\//g, "/");
}
})();
</script>
</head>
<body>
...
</body>
</html>
Also, you should consider setting a canonical link in your page so that search engines index things correctly.
