If I have following url conf:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^projects-json$', 'projects.views.list'),
)

And I go to /projects-json URL resolves fine. Note there is no trailing slash.

But I want to have a dot, not a hyphen in URL, so I rewrite url conf in this way:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^projects\.json$', 'projects.views.list'),
)

Now if I go to /projects.json I get redirected to /projects.json/ and get 404 as a consequense! If I add a trailing slash in url pattern I will get OK response at URL with the trailing slash. But I just want one simple thing: to match /projects.json without any redirects and slashes. Can Django do this? I’ve lost so many time for this primitive issue. Could anyone spot a mistake?

settings.APPEND_SLASH = False. However looks like it doesn’t matter. Just in case it could matter:

MEDIA_ROOT = ''
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/admin-media/'

    Works fine for me (with APPEND_SLASH = False). It can be browser issue, some browsers (Firefox for example) cache redirects, so it will redirect you after there is no redirect at all at server. Try it in another browser.
