Static-web-apps: Possibility to enforce trailing slashes

[stephtr]

It would be nice, if one could enforce trailing slashes at least for specific urls. In my case I would like
to forward /admin to /admin/, but doing that via the routes.json file results in a redirection loop.

I agree that this would be a nice feature. Often this comes up with default pages in subfolders that use relative URLs in links and access resources (like images) with relative URLs. Example:

If there's a file at /foo/bar/index.html, it can be accessed at all of the following locations:

• /foo
• /foo/
• /foo/index.html

If there are any relative URLs in the page, those URLs will not work when accessing the page using /foo. To deal with this, most web servers will redirect /foo to /foo/.

Here's an example here:

/foo/index.html has a link <a href="bar.html">relative link to bar.html</a>:

• Link works: https://delightful-island-0d63ac010.azurestaticapps.net/foo/index.html
• Link works: https://delightful-island-0d63ac010.azurestaticapps.net/foo/
• Link doesn't work: https://delightful-island-0d63ac010.azurestaticapps.net/foo
  
  
  
  • without the trailing slash, the base URL is https://delightful-island-0d63ac010.azurestaticapps.net/ which causes the relative link to fail
  
  

@stephtr Is this the same scenario you're running into, or do you have other reasons to need this redirect?

[stephtr]

That's more or less exactly my use case.

Could you do two redirects?

redirect /foo => /temporary/
redirect /temporary/ => /foo/

Did anyone ever getting a resolution on this? Encountering the same issue.
