747413 - Make trailing slashes non ambiguous

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Participation Infrastructure :: Phonebook, defect)

Description

[Owen Coutts [:tallOwen]]

We should either have trailing slashes or not have them and we should have some middleware that redirects requests that use the wrong one.

Per IRC conversation lets use https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#std:setting-APPEND_SLASH to accomplish this with the CommonMiddleware.

After vidyo discussion the default will now be to remove slashes using the same middle ware as kitsune.

We don't have that many urls, but the idea here is to remove the trailing slash on 404s.
Ex. on https://mozillians.org/en-US/about/ it is Not Found
https://mozillians.allizom.org/en-US/about/ redirects to /about

Thanks Tim - QA verified on stage. Adding a trailing slash to a url correctly redirects.
