Remove Traiing Foward Slash using UrlRewritingNet

Question

i'm doing some work on a legacy asp.net and umbraco site. It's using UrlRewritingNet to set up rules for url manipulation.

I'd like to create a rule in the UrlRewritingNet file to remove the trailing slash from the url.

eg. http://www.test.com/index.aspx/ to http://www.test.com/index.aspx

Can you please help.

            virtualUrl="^(.*)/$" 
            rewriteUrlParameter="IncludeQueryStringForRewrite" 
            redirect="Application"
            destinationUrl="~$1"
            ignoreCase="true" />

Thanks a bunch for this, have been looking for ages!! – Hans Preutz May 18 '16 at 07:03
This doesn't work for site root.. it keeps redirecting back to the last page.. Using Umbraco and UrlRewrite.config – Daniel Bardi Aug 23 '16 at 19:40

In the later versions of IIS in the url rewrite section you can set up these SEO rules without having to change code. Just 'add rules' in the 'url rewrite' section of the website:

I know about this, but it's a legacy application, so i am not able to implement this solution, only using the urlrewritingnet file. – Kojof Mar 25 '13 at 18:36

You can use the TrimEnd() method.

return inputString.TrimEnd('/'); // .NET 2 or newer

or

return inputString.TrimEnd(new char[] { '/' }); // legacy

leading != end. you want `TrimStart` – Andrew Bullock Mar 25 '13 at 10:00
@AndrewBullock Read his question again: He says "leading", but what he wants is to remove the **trailing** slash `/` (look at the 2 URL he provided) – Nolonar Mar 25 '13 at 10:06
you're right i meant trailing slash. I also don't want to do it in code, i'd like to do it using UrlRewritingNet file. – Kojof Mar 25 '13 at 10:56
