There should be no trailing dot (period) after URL typesetting
As the subject says, in their bibliographies, IEEE does not use trailing dot (period) after URLs
As per IEEEtran's reference manual
The IEEE does not place any punctuation at the end ofa URL as this could be mistaken as being part of the URL.
The biblatex-ieee package differs from this behaviour. Can we please fix this?
@moewew What's the best way to do this? I'm sure there is a simple trick (I plan to do a release soon, so would like to tidy this up).
I can't think of a simple way to do this at the moment, sorry. I know biblatex-apa does something like this (https://github.com/plk/biblatex-apa/blob/21fcb3fb1d1181d9ee51a2c97d3225987cc9efac/tex/latex/biblatex-apa/bbx/apa.bbx#L2066-L2089), but it's tricky to get right.
Based on the comment, I'm going to leave this one - I'm not convinced it's reliable, and certainly isn't particularly clear.
That is slightly disappointing to note, but I agree that this is not a critical requirement.
I also encountered this problem and I think it's actually a critical requirement.
