Im trying to settle an argument here.
I want to hear your views about what is wrong with this HTACCESS code:
RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+\.)+([^.]+\.[^.]+)\.?(:[0-9]+)?$
RewriteRule (.*) http://%2/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^
http://(www\.)?domain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule \.(jpe?g|gif)$ - [F]
ErrorDocument 404
http://domain.com
DirectoryIndex index.html
Redirect 301 /download
http://domain.com
My original contention is that in the last two instances of domain.com, it would be better if the format was:
http://domain.com/ (note the addition of the forward slash)
My reasoning is because if you miss out the forward slash you are forcing a redirect to the forward slash version which is correct and this can add some delay. Your views greatly appreciated.
