double trailing slash in url

[Brian Craft]

I have a url spec like so:
(r'^foo/$', 'blah')

I just noted from our server logs that if someone mistakenly types two
slashes ('foo//'), the page
gets served, but all of the relative links are broken. It's really
confusing. I believe it should be redirecting or 404ing instead.

I note that foo/bar and foo/bar/ give 404.

I thought that ending in a $ would prevent this from matching.

Hello Brain,

Could it be you are seeing the results of the APPEND_SLASH setting < https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/settings/#append-slash >.

Toodle-loooooooooo.......

I don't think so. It's not issuing a redirect. It's just serving the
view, even though the url spec doesn't match.

I suspect your web server is collapsing the multiple slashes into a single one, so that the Django code doesn't even see them.

Try using the dev server to access the url with multiple slashes -- the dev server won't collapse the slashes,  so I suspect you'll see the 404 you are expecting for that case.
