URL with trailing slash in Google App Engine

Question

This is my app.yaml:

- url: /about|/about/.*
  script: about.py

This is my `about.py':

application = webapp.WSGIApplication([(r'^/about$', AboutPage),
                                      (r'^/about/$', Redirect),
                                      (r'.*', ErrorPage)],
                                        debug = True)

I want to redirect all requests for /about/ to /about. I'd like all other requests to be sent to the error page.

It works in the development server on localhost, but I cannot access /about/ after I deployed the app on GAE - it just shows an empty page.

I adjusted the order of URL patterns in app.yaml. It works now on GAE.

My experience- see if your URL is having a "//" (double slash) anywhere in it. If it is having it, then it works on localhost but it does not work on cloud.
