I’m using a splat rewrite to pretend that the app on `artis-dev-2-cms.herokuapp.com/ghost` exists on `new.artis.dev/ghost`.

With the Netlify splat rewrite below everything works **perfectly** as long as the URL contains the trailing slash exactly like `new.artis.dev/ghost/`.

The problem is when you don’t have the trailing slash in `new.artis.dev/ghost`. It looks like Ghost no longer automatically appends the trailing slash as it is supposed to.

I have tried countless combinations in the \_reddirects file of `/ghost /ghost/` before and after and variations of these I could think of but I only ever get an infinite redirect loop or this error with the missing segment.

I’ve also tried redirects.json uploaded via Ghost admin redirecting from `/ghost` to `/ghost/` but nothing changed.

- Netlify URL: `new-artis-dev.netlify.app`
- Custom domain URL: `new.artis.dev`
- Contents of **\_redirects** file: `/ghost/* https://artis-dev-2-cms.herokuapp.com/ghost/:splat 200!`
