Lower case urls and trailing slash

Question

I am using ASP.NET MVC 6 and am trying to use lower case url's and trailing slash.

I have used the following:

RouteTable.Routes.LowercaseUrls = true;
RouteTable.Routes.AppendTrailingSlash = true;

But it gives a compile error. Just wanted to know if MVC 6 has a different way to do the above or is the same as we did in MVC5?

Answer 1

You can now use AddRouting to tell the routing engine to use lowercase URL's. This code goes in the Startup.cs file:

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    // ...ommitted code

    services.AddRouting(options =>
    {
        options.AppendTrailingSlash = true;
        options.LowercaseUrls = true;
    });
}

Answer 2

From the .NET Core 1.0.1 the correct syntax to implement the trailing slash and lowercase urls is:

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    // Omitted code
    // ...

    // Configure routing.
    services.Configure<RouteOptions>(options =>
    {
        options.AppendTrailingSlash = true;
        options.LowercaseUrls = true;
    });
}

Those APIs have not yet been ported from ASP.NET 4.x (used by MVC 5.x and earlier) to ASP.NET 5, which is used by MVC 6.

The feature request to support lowercase URLs is logged here (and isn't yet resolved): https://github.com/aspnet/Routing/issues/140 (please note that it's in the Routing repo because this is a Routing feature and not specific to MVC).
