Sounds good, but I haven't fully understood the snippet (sory, I haven't looked at django's middleware before). How would one "pick" between appending or not appending slashes following this approach?
Meanwhile I made a few searches for the current behavior of the APPEND_SLASH setting and found this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/d6ca6e1442658598 It also suggests using an extra middleware, to append a slash only if the URL in question doesn't exist without a slash. This would more easily allow me to default to appended slashes while also being able to use URLs without appended slashes in some situations, whenever it makes more sense. There are already some patches for it here: http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/3224 http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/3228 thanks, Filipe On Mar 6, 8:05 pm, "sjzabel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Totally pointless :P but it was a fun lunch > breakhttp://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/86/ > > Cheers, > Stephen > > On Mar 6, 12:13 pm, "sjzabel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I agree with James^2 > > > I do find the appended slash to be a little bit distracting when > > referring to a single item.
