The nginx documentation points to a reason:

Hi Adam,
APPEND_SLASH only adds a slash at the end of the path
I'm more concerned about having multiple slashes in the middle of the path
I get your point about canonical URLs - I'm just confused why other major
HTTP servers are handling this different

I'd be against this
Merging multiple slashes is a way of duplicating canonical URL's for
things, something Django actively tries to avoid with APPEND_SLASHES.
If you want this functionality you should be able to create it yourself
with a custom URL converter or URLPattern subclass.

Hi,
I'd like to start a discussion about how django handles multiple slashes.
see: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/31319#comment:1
So far I can confirm that nginx, apache and unix folders handle multiple
slashes the same way (-> they get merged)
What's your (dev) opinion on this?
Cheers
B
