mod_rewrite: remove trailing slash (only one!)

apache .htaccess mod-rewrite redirect rewrite

the following rule will match any URL ending in a slash and remove all slashes from the end of it:

RewriteRule ^(.*)/+$ $1 [R=301,L]

Note: The currently accepted answer only works for http not https but this one works for both.

apache .htaccess mod-rewrite redirect rewrite

change the rewrite rule to:

RewriteRule ^(.+[^/])/$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

in English: match the start of the string, one or more anything, NOT a slash, a slash, the end.

apache .htaccess mod-rewrite redirect rewrite

^(.+[^/])/$

I.e. the forelast character must not be a slash.
