drupalsite.com/index.php
drupalsite.com

Yeah, I'd like to see this as a feature in Global Redirect.

I just had a quick stab at implementing it but haven't had the time to have a good look.

If they won't add this functionality to Drupal core, I'd definitely like to see it in Global Redirect.

Title: /index.php should redirect drupalsite.com » drupalsite.com/index.php should redirect drupalsite.com

Hmm, I am getting this for subdirectories as well.

Google reported lots of my pages with duplicate titles, like this... Ouch.

(there are no external links to any of these, so the google bot must have tried these variations)

Any tips please?

perhaps making this a global redirect, instead of just a root index.php redirect would be the way to go
