I have a web server which provides web services at the url http://someplace:port/SERVICES/
There is client software which I don’t have source code to which allow you me to specify http://someplace:port.
However, this client will always send its web service posts to http://someplace:port/SERVICES on the wire. Notice the trailing slash is missing.
For security reasons, this client will NOT follow redirects.
However, I cannot seem to get apache to append the slash and do an internal redirect.
I have tried Alias, but the Redirects are processed first.
I have used the rewrite engine to successfully rewrite the URL to put the slash on, but it still sends an external redirect.
How can I get apache to do an internal redirect, and NOT send an external redirect.
In our case, the internal redirect is safe since the SERVICES/ url is the only url the client will ever access.
Thanks,
Tony
