NAME
CatalystX::TraitFor::Dispatcher::ExactMatch - handle trailing slashes
properly
SYNOPSIS
package MyApp;
use Catalyst::Runtime 5.80;
use Catalyst qw/
-Debug
Static::Simple
/;
use CatalystX::RoleApplicator;
__PACKAGE__->apply_dispatcher_class_roles(
qw/CatalystX::TraitFor::Dispatcher::ExactMatch/
);
DESCRIPTION
The Catalyst dispatcher doesn't differentiate between:
`http://localhost:3000/foo`
`http://localhost:3000/foo/`
Not even with Regex dispatching. Not even by writing a custom dispatch
type.
This is apparently a "feature". As far as I'm concerned, it's a bug.
This trait for Catalyst::Dispatcher attempts to perform an exact match,
including trailing slashes, ahead of Catalyst's default dispatching. It's
not been tested in every possible configuration, but it works for me.
BUGS
Please report any bugs to

ExactMatch>.

CatalystX::RoleApplicator, Catalyst::Dispatcher.
Catalyst::Plugin::SanitizeUrl appears to do something similar for
pre-Moose versions of Catalyst.
