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

thanks

I'm closing this bug. As it was denoted previously there do exist better
alternatives over using mod_rewrite for the suggested purpose. Thus, it
makes no sense even to suggest people to use that in the default
configuration file for Apache.

Sure, mod_rewrite can be abused to achieve that. Generally the
configuration file can't cover all possible configuration directives or
provide examples for it. I think people should read the documentation
instead.
