Does Dropbox remove trailing slash at the end of an url?

Hi all,

recently we've relaunched a new website: link removed
However the Authorization process in Dropbox for a specific link link removed isn't working as intended.

Here's how it works:

However according to someone in our engineering team calling this url in dropbox does remove the trailing slash at the end leading of this link: link removed resulting in the process to fail.

I'm not an expert on this so : What should we do? We recreated the site from scratch in webflow.

We used this code on the page to enforce the trailing slash at the end:

Any help/ideas would be really appreciated 🙂

Edit: Here is the javascript code

<script>
var url = document.location.href;
url = url.replace(/\/?$/, '/');
window.history.pushState('', '', url);
</script>

How it works:

It looks like you're referring to the step where Dropbox redirects the user back to the URI you specify in the redirect_uri parameter you set on /oauth2/authorize.

I just checked on this, and it does not appear Dropbox itself is removing the trailing "/" from that URL. I reproduced this, and looking at the log of the network requests, I see that Dropbox is redirecting the user to the supplied redirect URL including the trailing "/", and then your server is itself returning another redirect to a URL without the trailing "/". Please see the attached screenshots:

If you don't want the trailing "/" removed, you'll need to update your server's code to remove that behavior. That's out of our control as that would be in your code, so I can't offer help on the specifics for doing so.
