Redirects to external site that ends in static file extension is appending a slash at the end.

Example =
redirect: "/sample"
destination: "https://www.sample.com/page.html"

Result =
destination: "https://www.sample.com/page.html/"

The destination server doesn't like this and throws an exception.

Hi @GreyGhostStudio ! Thank you for reaching out and creating a bug report.

Can you share with me if your Umbraco is configured to add trailing slashes behind urls? You can find out more about this config here in the Umbraco docs: https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/reference/configuration/requesthandlersettings#add-trailing-slash

Notice that this configuration is true by default, so if you haven't explicitly set it yourself, it's likely enabled.

The URL Tracker's behaviour with trailing slashes is linked to this configuration. You may be able to work around this issue by disabling trailing slashes. That would be a quick fix for you.

Hi @D-Inventor. That work around did the trick and will get us by for now. Thanks!!

Is there any plan to change that for URLs redirecting to external Websites? Some Sites have Slashes at the end of there pages, some have not. We've changed the trailing-slash-settings in umbraco from TRUE to FALSE, but that doesn't help, as now other redirects dont work.
Sample:
Source: origin.site/form/case1 Redirect--> dest1.site/page?view=true
this works

Source: origin.site/form/case2 Redirect--> dest2.site/another_page/?params=...
doesn't work, as the redirect is rewritten to
dest2.site/another_page?params=...

Currently we're using the following workaround

• After the last slash we put a dot in the URL i.e. dest2.site/another_page/.?params=...
• the server sends back the URL to the client with the dot
• the browser itself removes the dot and sends the correct URL to the destination server
