$resource loses its URL's trailing slash

[temporaryaccount]

When I define a $resource with a URL with trailing slash (e.g. '/ajax/') and then use it, Angular tries to fetch just '/ajax' at first, then it gets a HTTP redirect from Apache to '/ajax/', then it uses the correct URL.

angular ngResource default behavior removes any trailing slashes off the end of a url, why not define the url w/o the trailing slash and prevent apache .htaccess from redirecting?

@andredublin
Thank you for response. In fact, there is no .htaccess there, there is a directory called "ajax" where index.php file is located, I can use "ajax/index.php" but considering that index.php is the default execution handler when it exists, I would prefer just "ajax/", this is a valid URL, isn't it? Why should ngResource remove the trailing slash?

As part of our effort to clean out old issues, this issue is being automatically closed since it has been inactivite for over two months.

Please try the newest versions of Angular (1.0.8 and 1.2.0-rc.1), and if the issue persists, comment below so we can discuss it.

Thanks!

Still the case in 1.2.0-rc.2 and master https://github.com/angular/angular.js/blob/master/src/ngResource/resource.js#L374

This behavior is really annoying as some API around require the ending slash.
What's the benefit of removing it ?

I'm having the same issue. Removing the line (now at https://github.com/angular/angular.js/blob/master/src/ngResource/resource.js#L388) fixes this problem. Why not make it an option?

We just ran into this as well. Our API is built on Django and requires slashes. Please reopen this! Thanks!

I believe #5560 is related to this, and possibly fixes it

[andredublin]

@caitp 👍 Thats a great feature option

As caitp points out, this looks like the same issue as #5560. Since folks are working on a solution there, closing this as a duplicate.
