Trailing slashes fixed (URL should have end slashes in SEO)

[FarhadKh]

URL should have end slashes in SEO.
URL without end slash should redirect with 301 status to URL with end slash.
E.g. https://github.com/jeroennoten/Laravel-Prerender redirect to https://github.com/jeroennoten/Laravel-Prerender/
So $path changed to request URI.
What's the use of this codes?

if ($path == "/") {
      $path = "";
}

I think It just removes end slash from home page that It's not good for Seo

It looks like that is checking for a path equal to "/" and not any path ending in "/". Also it looks like the comment for that line is:

// Fix "//" 404 error
if ($path == "/") {	
    $path = "";	
}

So I think that has a different purpose than what you described unless there is a different piece of code that is adding a trailing slash.

@thoop I know that code.
but we need path equal to "/"
This code
$path = $request->Path();
makes the same path for request with end slash and without end slash!
Then I changed to
$path = $request->getRequestUri();
for fix it.
If everybody has not found error on "//" request.
It seems their routing system has errors!

whether a URL should end in a slash or whether a website has URLs that end in a slash or not should be up to the website and not enforced in this middleware since that could break things for people already using this without a trailing slash.

Does this actually add a trailing slash? It looks like you only removed the slash between $host and $path since I assume getRequestUri returns the path with the "/" at the beginning of the string? Is there documentation anywhere on getRequestUri() vs Path()?
