Question

Initially i wanted to add trailing / in my url (lighttpd)

which is possible to do with

    url.redirect = ( "^(.*[^/])$" => "$1/" ) 

Now i need to exclude some extensions like .txt, png etc. I want to add trailing slash for everything except those extensions, i dont seem to get that working.

In apache I could have used conditional rewrite, how would you do that in lighttpd.

Any directions would be highly appreciated.

Thank you

Just to make it together this would work (tested)

       $HTTP["url"] !~ "^(.*)(\..{3}|/)$" {
          url.redirect = (

           "^(.*[^/])$" => "$1/"
          )
        }

@david This would create never ending loop…..

 "^(.*)\.(png|txt)$" => "$1.$2",
    "^(.*[^/])$" => "$1/"

This will create ever lasting loop

@Matthew This wont quite work as you are pushing everything to %1

$HTTP["url"] !~ "^(.*)(\..{3}|/)$" {
  url.redirect = (
    ".*" => "%1/" 
  )
}
