I have come up with the following mod_rewrite rule:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/)$
RewriteRule (.*)$ $1/ [R=301,L]
It serves an HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently header, in the case that
there is no trailing slash in the {REQUEST_URI} and the {REQUEST_URI}
does not have a file extension.
This seems to work well.
Does anyone else use this technique?
