So what exactly is checking Pretty Url supposed to be doing? I didn’t find any page explaining it in the documentation and the short explanation text close to the checkbox seems to describe what is already the current behavior
Hey, thanks for the link. I didn’t know I could trigger those settings from my netlify.toml file, that good news.
Still, I didn’t find any information on the Pretty URL feature. What does it add that Netlify does do out of the box? In my tests, you already normalize /foo, /foo/ and /foo.html to serve the same files.
So what other url rewriting do I get if I enable Pretty Urls?
When you enable Pretty URLs, our system will also rewrite the links in your html to remove the html extension. This is mentioned in our redirects docs.
