That's why I was saying you'd probably have to write something a little  
complicated.

Its really hard if you don't already have a naming convention in mind.
That way you could just force it to rewrite without the ending slash if

I think its adding the trailing slash because it assumes cota is a

(Someone else on here might have a better explanation.)

What exactly are you trying to see happen, in human terms, i.e. how  
would
you like the request to unfold.


Thanks,
