How to make redirect, when I use adress bar?

[nathanmartin]

@ab_softevol See my post here for things you may be getting confused with:

Setting up netlify.toml for pretty url

I believe part of the confusion here is whether or not the ‘Asset optimization - Pretty URLs’ is supposed to apply any redirection of a users request for a file. My understanding, based on the description written under it, is that it scans and changes your HTML to remove references to URLs ending in .html, so if you had a link of href="/about.html", it would adjust your code to href="/about". What @luisrieke is questioning is that if a user is directly accessing a file with the .html extension…

In the _redirects file format, the force would be specified as

/index.html /  301!
