While calling the API axios adds an extra '/' in request at the end (not base url)

[buhshanpjoshi]

Describe the bug

Hey, If url contains the text 'post' in the url its observed axios is adding extra '/' at the end while calling the api which results into 404 Not found.

e.g. formed url while calling - https://hostname/users/bhushan.joshi@gmail/EMP/temp-auth-method final url - https://hostname/users/bhushan.joshi@gmail/EMP/temp-auth-method

But when its had 'post' in the url e.g. formed url while calling - https://hostname/users/bhushan.postel@gmail/EMP/temp-auth-method OR https://hostname/users/bhushan.abcpostxx@gmail/EMP/temp-auth-method final url - https://hostname/users/bhushan.postel@gmail/EMP/temp-auth-method**/** (adds extra slash in it)

Hello,

I've investigated this issue and my findings suggest that this is not a bug in Axios.

Method: I used an Axios request interceptor to log the exact URL being sent, just before it leaves the client.

Result: The logged URL was correctly formed, even when it contained the word "post". It did not have the extra trailing slash.

Conclusion: This strongly indicates that the extra slash is being added by a server-side redirect (like a 301 or 302 response) after the request is sent. The problem lies in the server's configuration, not the Axios library.

I believe this issue can be closed.
