add option to allow resource without trailing slash?

[Chris2048]

I'm trying to use flask-eve with angular resources. The problems is, angular seems to remove the trailing slash from the url.

When eve gets this url, it gives a 301 response, but I don't think angular will follow this :-|

Is it possible to configure eve to serve from a slashless resource without a redirect?

Thanks.

Hello,

it looks like an angular issue, however if you look at this SO thread you will find that

• There's an open ticket already
• You probably can get around it by just escaping the trailing slash (see Vincent comment to accepted answer).

Hope this helps!

Yes, thanks, it seems using "host/:param" will prevent the slash being removed.

So with a regular flask app, you can do the following to allow requests without trailing slashes:

app.url_map.strict_slashes = False

However, I tried this with eve and it doesn't seem to work.

@nicolaiarocci do you think it's a good idea to give leeway with trailing slashes in requests?

If so, it would be a quick fix to allow for my app.url_map.strict_slashes = False suggestion.

EDIT: apologies, it looks like this was updated
