HTACCESS Query - Server Admins Get Here
 

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.

This is making the point.
