Django REMOVE_SLASH

If you're coming from another CMS or Framework like me, then Django is probably messing up your weblinks too with the APPEND_SLASH option. (Since when is it more user friendly or beneficial to put a slash after every url? Most websites on the internet leave the end slash off, and Django seems to be going against common convention in this regard.)

You could leave APPEND_SLASH off, but this may lead to problems with SEO.

Anyway, I love Django in many other ways, and thankfully Django is flexible enough to allow us to fix this problem. I developed a middleware that basically does the opposite of APPEND_SLASH, and it's accordingly named Remove Slash Middleware.

It simply works like this:
1. Remove all slashes from the end of the requested url.
2. If the url location is not found, then add one slash '/' and try again.


Now you can choose to get rid of all those slashes at the ends of your urls. Delete, subtract, pop, erase those slashes.
