AFD Premium - 301 Redirect Trailing Slash to no Trailing Slash via Ruleset

Question

Hello!

We're looking to remove trailing slash via a ruleset in Azure Front Door Premium via a Ruleset. Looking at the documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/frontdoor/rules-match-conditions?pivots=front-door-standard-premium&tabs=portal#request-url and server variables that are available https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/frontdoor/rule-set-server-variables, after a few hours of trial and error we can't seem to put server variable and we can't seem to find a simple rule where all URLs without query string.

We're hoping to map a request example with

/abcd/efg/?queryk=queryvalue#anchor
to
/abcd/efg?queryk=queryvalue#anchor without the / after efg and before ?queryk

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,

Jack

I understand you are trying to set-up a Redirect using Azure FrontDoor where you want rewrite the url_path /abcd/efg/?queryk=queryvalue#anchor to /abcd/efg?queryk=queryvalue#anchor without the / after efg and before ?queryk

In order to achieve the URL rewrite you can try setting the rule-set for the Request path as shown below

I tried it on my end and can see the trailing slash was removed.

Hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
