how can multiple trailing slashes can be removed from an url in Ruby
- by splintercell
Hello,
What i'm trying to achieve here is lets say we have two example urls:
url1 "http://emy.dod.com/kaskaa/dkaiad/amaa//////////" & url2 = "http://www.example.com/".
How can I extract the striped down urls?
url1 : "http://emy.dod.com/kaskaa/dkaiad/amaa" & url2 to "http://http://www.example.com"?
URI.parse in ruby sanitizes certain type of malformed url but is ineffective in this case.
If we use regex then /^(.*)\/$/ removes a single slash (/) from url1 & is ineffective for url2.
Is anybody aware of how to handle this type of url parsing?
The point here is I dont want my system to have "http://www.example.com/" & "http://www.example.com" being treated as two different urls.
And same goes for "http://emy.dod.com/kaskaa/dkaiad/amaa////" & "http://emy.dod.com/kaskaa/dkaiad/amaa/"
cheers,
