RewriteRule & Internal redirects error

[bearsfoot]

Hi, 

 

I have the following rule :

RewriteRule products/(.*)/ /pages/index.php?view=products&id=$1

 

which rewrites http://www.mysite.com/products/1/

into

http://www.mysite.com/pages/index.php?view=products&id=1

 

However,  if i just want to remove the trailing slash from the url.

Eg .. http://www.mysite.com/products/1

 

I have tried the following rules,  but the end result is always 'Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects'.

RewriteRule products/(.*)$ /pages/index.php?view=products&id=$1

RewriteRule products/(.*) /pages/index.php?view=products&id=$1

 

Is this a server configuration problem ?  The rule seems ok ?

 

Thanks.
