Hi, I've got a doubt concerning the use of slashes on the end of URLs. I'm currently using APPEND_SLASH to normalize all the URLs in my django app, but I can't help noticing that some URLs would make more sense to me without the last slash. Some examples:
http://somedomain.org/people/ - this would return a list of persons http://somedomain.org/people/12 - this would return details about the person with id "12" http://somedomain.org/people/12/belongings/ - this would return a list of belongings of person 12 http://somedomain.org/people/12/belongings/5 - this would return details about belonging 5 of person 12 http://somedomain.org/cars/ - this would return a list of cars http://somedomain.org/cars/page1 - considering the list of cars spans over several pages... http://somedomain.org/cars/page2 Although this would intuitively make more sense to me than always having a slash at the end of each URL, I can't really extract a "rule" from it. I've looked at how other websites are doing it and found that most stick with always *having* slashes at the end (eg, flickr.com) or always *not having* slashes at the end (digg.com, newsvine.com). Is there any criteria that can in fact be considered a best practice when designing URLs? I would very much appreciate to know of other's experience on this. thanks in advance, Filipe Correia --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
