Using RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f in apache rewrites

[tewari68]

Hi,
I have to write a rewrite rule whereby if a url does not have a trailing slash I need to append the trailing slash.
For ex.

http://example.com/a/b/c

should redirect to

http://example.com/a/b/c/

I have this rewrite rule but this does not work

<code>
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /a/b
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+[^/])$ $1/ [L,R=301]

</code>

if I give the url

http://example.com/a/b/c

it works I get the correct page

however
if I give the url

http://example.com/a/b/c/index.shtml

In the rewrite logs I see
<code>
RewriteCond: input='/a/b/c/index.shtml' pattern='/a/b' => matched

RewriteCond: input='/a/b/c/index.shtml' pattern='!-f' => matched

rewrite '/a/b/c/index.shtml' -> '/a/b/c/index.shtml/' => slash is appended at the end even though it is a file not a directory

</code>

Appreciate any help.

Thanks

Why?

Servers will do that automagically, (internally with a 302 response)
