Add slash to the end of every url (need rewrite rule for nginx)

Question

I try to get an "/" to every urls end:

example.com/art

should

example.com/art/

I use nginx as webserver.

I need the rewrite rule for this..

For better understanding check this:

http://3much.schnickschnack.info/art/projekte

If u press on a small thumbnail under the big picture it reloads and shows this url:

http://3much.schnickschnack.info/art/projekte/#0

If i now have a slash on all urls (on the end) it would work without a reload of the site.

Right now i have this settings in nginx-http.conf:

server {
listen *:80;
 server_name 3much.schnickschnack.info;
access_log /data/plone/deamon/var/log/main-plone-access.log;
rewrite ^/(.*)$ /VirtualHostBase/http/3much.schnickschnack.info:80/2much/VirtualHostRoot/$1 last;
location / {
proxy_pass http://cache;
}
}

How do I configure nginx to add a slash? (I think i should a rewrite rule?)

Answer 1

Try this: ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/$1/ [L,R=301]

This redirects (Status code 301) everything ($1) without a "/" to "$1/"

Answer 2

For nginx:

rewrite ^(.*[^/])$ $1/ permanent;

Answer 3

More likely I think you would want something like this:

rewrite ^([^.]*[^/])$ $1/ permanent;

The Regular Expression translates to: "rewrite all URIs without any '.' in them that don't end with a '/' to the URI + '/'" Or simply: "If the URI doesn't have a period and does not end with a slash, add a slash to the end"

The reason for only rewriting URI's without dots in them makes it so any file with a file extension doesn't get rewritten. For example your images, css, javascript, etc.

Another common rewrite to accompany this would be:

rewrite ^([^.]*)$ /index.php;

This very simply rewrites all URI's that don't have periods in them to your index.php (or whatever file you would execute your controller from).
