How Django adds trailing slash

Working with the Django-powered project that would automatically put a trailing slash at the end. So:

foo.com/bar

would become a 

foo.com/bar/

I have read that there is a CommonMiddleware class which has an APPEND_SLASH attribute with which trailing slash can be controlled. My project import CommonMiddleware indeed:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    ...
    'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
)

However APPEND_SLASH is never set anywhere. And the project keeps adding trailing slash.

Question: does APPEND_SLASH get set to True by default if you import CommonMiddleware? Are there any ways to control the trailing slash?

I will compile a full answer. It has 2 aspects:

1) If you import CommonMiddleware into your project - it would use its APPEND_SLASH attribute (which is True by default).

2) Keep track of your urls file (if it is something like ^foo.com/bar/$).

And don't forget to clear the cache if you change CommonMiddleware or APPEND_SLASH(since browser will most likely cache it).

I think you have to set APPEND_SLASH in your django settings module.
