The FlatpageFallbackMiddleware (and the view) now only add a trailing slash and redirect if the resulting URL refers to an existing flatpage. Previously requesting /notaflatpageoravalidurl would redirect to /notaflatpageoravalidurl/, which would then raise a 404. Requesting /notaflatpageoravalidurl now will immediately raise a 404. Also, Redirects returned by flatpages are now permanent (301 status code) to match the behaviour of the CommonMiddleware.
Thanks to Steve Losh for the initial work on the patch.
