All URLs without trailing slash redirecting to trailing slash

[mikef88]

All URLs without a trailing slash are being redirected to a non-SSL URL and adding a trailing slash.

This issue is happening for all domains hosted on the server.

Example:

https://domain.com/video changes to http://domain.com/video/
http://domain.com/video changes to http://domain.com/video/

This redirection is not occurring due to .htaccess files. How do we disable this redirect behavior?

Hey there! You mention this isn't happening due to .htaccess files, but can you confirm how the https redirection happens for those domains?

We haven't set up any type of redirection. This is just a default setup of cpanel and apache/litespeed.

I actually don't believe that is the case - there is no default redirection to https content inside of Apache or Litespeed. cPanel does have the "Force HTTPS Redirect" option here: https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us...tically-redirect-a-domain-s-visitors-to-HTTPS

but that would need to be manually enabled for each domain you want it on the machine.

If you have root access to the server, feel free to submit a ticket to our team and we'll be able to help track down that behavior.

What is the site built with? Content Management Systems like Wordpress and others have their own internal redirect systems and plugins that if there's a domain setup that's using the http version of the url it may be getting caught there and redirecting.

One method with Wordpress is using a custom Permalink setting to remove the trailing slash. Combine that with domain settings that either are set to http or not properly migrating all links from http to https could create some oddities like this.

Just a thought to look into your site setup if no htaccess culprits are found.
