Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 39,036 PointsStuck on Code Challenge: Adding a Trailing Slash
Challenge task 1 of 1 In an earlier code challenge, we wrote a rewrite rule so that the web page http://localhost/flavors/ executed the code at all_flavors.php. Unfortunately, this only works if the web address includes the trailing slash. If someone visits http://localhost/flavors, they will see a 404: Page Not Found error. We'll need another rewrite rule to redirect from /flavors to /flavors/. Add a new line to the htaccess file below to accomplish this.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^flavors/$ /all_flavors.php
RewriteRule ^/flavors$ /flavors/ [R=301]
The second RewriteRule is what i have added and it looks correct. I have tried this challenge using Chrome and Safari on Mac OS X 10.9.2. The rule works on my localhost.

RewriteRule ^flavors$ /flavors/ [R=301]
To a lot of web servers, /flavors and flavors are two different places. One is an absolute path, the other is a relative path.
