Subject: [users@httpd] Redirecting paths with extra slashes

Hi,
I have a site that for some reason got indexed by Google with wrong
paths which contain too many slashes. E.g. instead of an entry for

/foo/bar

there might be one for

/foo///bar

Now this is no problem for a Apache but it is for some of my pages
because they use relative paths. If I have an image
in /foor/bar/index.html which looks like

<img src=../../img/img1.jpg>

that will work fine for /foo/bar but not for /foo///bar which will then
look for /foo/img instead of /img.

What I would like to do is get Apache to redirect wrong addresses like
this to the correct one. That way I get the relative paths correct and
hopefully one day Google will have it right, too. I was thinking of
mod_rewrite but I couldn't get it to work. However, I only can get
rules that either don't seem to do anything or ones that get me into an
infinite loop of redirects. Can anybody give me a hint?

Cheers,
Christian
