// creates dublicate content (issue)

Hi Umbraco Forum.

Earlier i had help setting up the following rule to prevent www issues:

   <rewrite>
        <rules>
            <rule name="Redirect to non-www" stopProcessing="true">
                <match url="(.*)" />
                <conditions>
                    <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="www\.yourdomain\.com$" />
                </conditions>
                <action type="Redirect" url="http://yourdomain.com/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
            </rule>
        </rules>
    </rewrite>

Now i would like to rewrite the statement to prevent dublicate content from urls containing // /\ and /

I tried rewriting it, but without success.

Hope someone can help! :)

Hi Asger,

Try to use Umbraco settings for this.

Hi Alex.

Thanks for your response. Im not quite sure what you refer to when you say "as mentioned in the comment above"? I only see your comment.

Also im not quite sure in which file i should make this change that you suggest?

And i have the issue with the /\ too, do you know why that is?

Thanks :)

Hi Alex.

Thanks for the input. The change helped so that umbraco no longer adds the / to the link, however in order to fix the issue with dublicate content i need to make a rewrite so it is impossible to access the page with the / or // in the end, do you know how to rewrite the above code to do that?

Best regards and high fives!

Hi Asger,

Happy to help!

I'm little bit confused how did you get // and other bad links?

Are they from external sites?

Thanks,

Alex

Hi Alex.

Sorry i think im just bad at formulating my issue.

I made this solution my self, which works perfectly:

             <rule name="Remove trailing slash" stopProcessing="true">
                 <match url="(.*)/$" />
                     <conditions>
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
                     </conditions>
                  <action type="Redirect" redirectType="Permanent" url="{R:1}" />
             </rule>

But thank you very much for your help! :)
