Url rewriting trailing slash fail
Hi all,

i'm struggling with the url rewriting. I have a template called tournament.cshtml. Many links to our site are pointing to the domainname.nl/tournament/

because there is no tournament with this link I've written en url rewrite rule as follows:
```
<add name="tournaments"
  ignoreCase="true" 
  virtualUrl="~/tournament$"
  destinationUrl="~/tournaments/specificTournament" />
```
this is working for http://www.domainname.nl/tournament but will give a 404 when adding a trailing slash like: http://www.domainname.nl/tournament/

because I don't rely on my regex skills adding a second rule like the following doesn't help.
```
<add name="tournamentsextra"
  ignoreCase="true" 
  virtualUrl="~/tournament/$"
  destinationUrl="~/tournaments/specificTournament" />
```
What am I doing wrong?

Well the first rule is processed first, so I think if you just switch them around it should work.

But to make your example simpler you could just add a ? after the slash which in regex means: match between 0 and 1 of the preceding token. Exactly what you want: match if there is 0 or 1 slash. And then you only need one rule:
```
<add name="tournamentsextra"
  ignoreCase="true" 
  virtualUrl="~/tournament/?$"
  destinationUrl="~/tournaments/specificTournament" />
```

Sebastiaan,

can you explain (or give me a hint how to troubleshoot) why it is working in Chome, but I get an error when opening the same site in IE with a trailing slash (without it is working in IE). site: http://www.batswingers.nl/toernooi/

Error:
```
This page can’t be displayed

•Make sure the web address http://www.batswingers.nl is correct.
•Look for the page with your search engine.
•Refresh the page in a few minutes.
