For example - my selected Url Ending is .HTML so Urls are - http://www.jurmala.com/SVN/in-portal-5.1.x/in-bulletin/my_account/my_topics.html

However if I just go to - http://www.jurmala.com/SVN/in-portal-5.1.x/in-bulletin/my_account/my_topics/ or http://www.jurmala.com/SVN/in-portal-5.1.x/in-bulletin/my_account/my_topics it will also load the same page.

This is where you think it might be a good idea to teach In-Portal to auto-redirect Users (with 302 redirect) to the correct Url Endings to make sure we don't end up with lots of Duplicate Content URLs on the website?

However, in additional (to the same task) we have developed functionality when you can choose the URL ending for your site with the option to pass custom URL ending to <inp2:m_Link url_ending="/"/> tag. This custom option gives you the ability to customize the url ending where you want - for example list of categories can end on / instead of selected by default .html and so on.

Question

Should we (or should not) add a new Configuration Variable (in Admin) which will ALWAYS automatically send (by redirect with 302) user to selected (correct) Urls Ending skipping the Custom Ending Url described in prev. paragraph?

Note: this variable can be turned off by default.

Answer

Yes or No (comments welcome)
