proxy removes double slashes "//" automatically

[Emad-Emami]

I'm using this proxy config for my react application:
proxy: { "/etc/api/": { "target": "http://www.example.com/etc/api/", pathRewrite: { '^/etc/api/' : '' }, changeOrigin: true, secure: false } }
but in some conditions my app sends some get requests which has double slash in URL like (before "key"):
http://www.example.com/etc/api/getlists//key/45b2606d86dfbdef2bfaed0b5eb5450ac2b8f8da
It seem proxy method removes "//" automatically. why? is it on purpose or bug?

I have the same exact issue
config is
'/api': {
target: 'http://localhost:8080',
changeOrigin: false
},

and I send /api/v1/browsertree/sitename/demo.dotcms.com/uri//
BUT I get this at the webserver
/api/v1/browsertree/sitename/demo.dotcms.com/uri/

I'm having the same issue... maybe there is an option we are missing?

It uses http-proxy-middleware underneath. Could you try to set up a standalone test case against that so we can rule out a WDS bug?

Closing due to age and inactivity. If someone is able to put together a test case in a repo we can use to reproduce, we'll revisit this one.
