    Hey Guys,

    I am trying to redirect a portion of my website to avoid duplicate content issues.

    Right now if you visit my site these are separate pages:

    http://www.mysite.com/blog

    and

    http://www.mysite.com/blog/
    --

    I am trying to redirect every URL in my blog ONLY to the URL without the trailing slash. However I do not want this rule to apply for URLs for my main site (http://www.mysite.com).

    Any suggestions?

    Best Regards,
    Nick

    So I figured the rewrite will look something like this:

    
rewritecond %{http_host} ^mysite.com/blog [nc]
rewriterule %{http_host} ^mysite.com/blog/ [r=301,nc]
    Code (markup):
    But I might be off by a mile here... any ideas guys?

    Ok so I found a code that might work

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/blog/$
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/ [R=301,L]

    I just have two questions:

    1. What does the $ in /blog/$ mean and I need it to say anything after /blog so I think I might have to have it look like /blog/* or something.
    2. What does the $1 mean in http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/
