Reply To: How to remove subdirectories using mod_rewrite in .htaccess

[ewisely]

Thanks for your suggestion. But example.com/keyword/ and example.com/keyword will be considered as 2 different pages in the eyes of Google and the Page Rank assigned to them will be different too.

I still prefer to standardize my url to all having a trailing slash. So, how do I go about doing that if I don’t want to use this RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/)$ since I’m afraid it may produce false results, as you said?

By the way, I went over to look for the difference between REQUEST_URI and REQUEST_FILENAME, http://httpd.apache.org/ doesn’t explain well. Other sites simply parrot what it says. I would like to hear from you. Thanks.
