Re: Redirecting / to non slash

Ahh.  I didn't read it correctly.  
What result is desired when "/foo" is going to be served?
Do you want a directory listing, a default page, or is "/foo" a default page without an extension?
Maybe that would help me understand the end goal because a directory still has to have a default page of some sort.


But as stated previously by Tom Evans, the answer may not help your search engine goal.

Thats the opposite of what he requested - he wants '/foo/' to be
redirected to '/foo' and serve as if it was '/foo/'. mod_dir would
redirect '/foo' to '/foo/' and serve '/foo/'.

Is '/page/' a directory? If so, I don't think you will be able to do
this with apache. It may be possible with redirects, but it just seems
a little OTT to do this because some snake oil merchant has told you
this will boost your page rank on google.
