SEO Strict URLs

In certain cases, search engine algorithms will penalize websites for displaying identical content among multiple pages. With friendly URLs (FURLs) turned on and a FURL suffix defined, the same document can potentially be referenced using 8 separate URLs:

http://yoursite.com/doc_id
http://yoursite.com/doc_id/
http://yoursite.com/doc_id.suffix
http://yoursite.com/doc_id.suffix/
http://yoursite.com/alias
http://yoursite.com/alias/
http://yoursite.com/alias.suffix
http://yoursite.com/alias.suffix/

This plugin, which was devised by Jeremy Luebke and modified by myself, uses 301 redirects to forward users and search engines alike to a single URL based on plugin and FURL configuration. In addition to redirecting, the plugin can also (optionally) rewrite document links/URIs.

Example scenario, with FURLs turned on and '.html' as the FURL suffix:

http://yoursite.com/site_start.html -> http://yoursite.com/
http://yoursite.com/feed.rss.html -> http://yoursite.com/feed.rss (TV override, with basename set)
http://yoursite.com/container.html -> http://yoursite.com/container/ (if rewrite containers as folders is enabled or TV override)

Currently known limitations:

- Will only rewrite links with double quotes
- Will not rewrite URLs with relative paths (../.. etc)
