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



Hi,

mod_speling serves this purpose exactly. It is easily enabled by the
admin. I see no use in implementing this separately when something like
mod_speling already exists.

I propose to close the bug.
