Yes, that looks like it should work; and it will do mostly the same as
the internal trailing-slash redirect, which is good.

They will pretty much all send a Host: header or they won't work very
well on the public internet; I'm not sure if they all include the :port
within the Host: header.

But it does not matter what "all" do; only what the ones that you care
about do. Hopefully that is something that you can test adequately :-)

Good that you have a solution.

Cheers,
