django urls without a trailing slash do not redirect

Question

I\'ve got two applications located on two separate computers. On computer A, in the urls.py file I have a line like the following:

(r\'^cast/$\         


        

Answer 1

I've had the same problem. In my case it was a stale leftover from some old version in urls.py, from before staticfiles:

url(r'^%s(?P.*)$' % settings.MEDIA_URL.lstrip('/'),
    'django.views.static.serve',
    kwargs={'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}),

MEDIA_URL was empty, so this pattern matched everything.
