What happened?
Using the URL Helper auto_link() function to automatically turn URLs contained in a string into links/HTML anchor elements. If the last character of the URL is a /, it is not included in either the anchor href value or text value.
Steps to Reproduce
Input:
$string = 'This is a test link to https://example.com/.';
$html = auto_link($string);
echo $html;
Output:
This is a test link to <a href="https://example.com">https://example.com</a>/.
Expected Output
This is a test link to <a href="https://example.com/">https://example.com/</a>.
Anything else?
I came across this as it seems that the default behaviour of Chrome and Firefox is to include the trailing slash when copying the URL from the browser's address bar. I tend to do this a lot and noticed that the auto_link() function always missed the trailing slash when creating anchor elements.
