Adding a trailing slash to all URLs through IIS URL Rewrite Module is widely spread, but how do I add exceptions for URLs that ends with .html and .aspx?
Today I have this:
<rule name="Add trailing slash" stopProcessing="true"> <match url="(.*[^/])$" /> <conditions> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" /> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" /> <!-- Doesn't seem to be working --> <!--<add input="{REQUEST_URI}" pattern="(.*?).html$" negate="true" />--> <!--<add input="{REQUEST_URI}" pattern="(.*?).aspx$" negate="true" />--> </conditions> <action type="Redirect" redirectType="Permanent" url="{R:1}/" /> </rule>

A trailing slash is a forward slash (“/”) placed at the end of a URL such as domain.com/ or domain.com/page/. The trailing slash is generally used to distinguish a directory which has the trailing slash from a file that does not have the trailing slash.
A 301 redirect is the best way to resolve duplicate content issues caused by trailing slashes. If you're just fixing one page, you'd redirect the duplicate copy to the version that matches your chosen URL structure. Most trailing slash issues however, affect many pages across a website.
If your site has a directory structure, it's more conventional to use a trailing slash with your directory URLs (for example, example.com/directory/ rather than example.com/directory ), but you can choose whichever you like. Be consistent with the preferred version. Use it in your internal links.
If you want something done right, you've got to do it yourself, obviously...
Here is the solution to my question:
<rule name="Add trailing slash" stopProcessing="true"> <match url="(.*[^/])$" /> <conditions> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" /> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" /> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" pattern="(.*?)\.html$" negate="true" /> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" pattern="(.*?)\.aspx$" negate="true" /> </conditions> <action type="Redirect" redirectType="Permanent" url="{R:1}/" /> </rule> Update: I blogged about this in more detail.
