[users@httpd] RewriteRule: foo.com/directory --> foo.com/directory/

[thomas Armstrong <ta...@gmail.com>]

Hi.

Using Apache 2, I want to create a RewriteRule within the '.htaccess'
file which redirects from:
http://foo.com/directory
to
http://foo.com/directory/

This last "directory" is a RewriteRule:
----------
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ /directory.php?label=$1 [L]
---------

I tried adding this line
---------
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1/ [R=301]
---------
after and before the last line, but I get this error message:
------
The page isn't redirecting properly
------

and the URL I get is:
http://foo.com/directory.php/?label=directory.php

What am I doing wrong? Thank you very much.

At least protect it from running when the URL ends in a slash such as:

RewriteRule ^(.*[^/])$ /$1/ [R=301]

You're unexpected behavior is a result of doing rewrite in .htaccess,
so the rules are re-visited at a later stage despite the L flag.
