[opencms-dev] Append trailing slash to folder URL

[Paul-Inge Flakstad]

Hey Achim,

Thanks! Yeah, you're right about that - and we do indeed use the .html extension, so it is a plausible solution. But wouldn't you have to add rules for all filetype extensions, not just .html? Like .xml, .jpg, .png ...and the list goes on.

I really like the idea of doing this in OpenCms though. (And in my opinion, this should have been the default behaviour of OpenCms, but for some reason it's not.) 

Would it be possible to override a request handler or something? Or, generally speaking: could I accomplish what I want in OpenCms through a module, or would I be forced to modify the OpenCms core?

Cheers,
Paul

Hi Paul,

you could drop having to do it within OpenCms if you are able to
establish the naming convention of files to have an extension (.html).

kind regards,
Achim
