Bug#391290: apache should automatically detect extra periods/commas at the end of URLs and fix

["Jason Spiro" <jasonspiro4@gmail.com>]

Package: apache2
Version: 2.0.55-4.1
Severity: wishlist

Many people type in URLs with extra periods or commas. For example, a
user may type:
   http://www.jspiro.com/wiki.
when they actually meant to type:
   http://www.jspiro.com/wiki

This causes a lot of 404 errors on web servers everywhere. Would it be
possible for apache to automatically detect extra periods/commas at
the end of URLs and redirect clients to the correct place?

Regards,
Jason
