     "SmartAppendSlash" middleware for taking care of URL rewriting.
 
     This middleware appends a missing slash, if:
     * the SMART_APPEND_SLASH setting is True
-    * the URL without the slash does not exist
-    * the URL with an appended slash does exist.
+    * the URL without the slash does not exist in urls.py
+    * the URL with an appended slash does exist in urls.py
     Otherwise it won't touch the URL.
+    
+    MODIFICATION
+    Since we have a universal catchall url pattern in urls.py, the usual way this works
+    won't ever trigger adding a slash. So we check for the existence of a file in expoweb,
+    not the existence of a pattern in urls.py...
+    
+    but site_media..
+    but css etc....
+    
+    CONCLUSION
+    This technique "works" but would be a maintence nightmare, so DO NOT USE IT
