On create site, wordpress throws error if siteurl has trailing slash (/)

[Arlen22]

In siteurl/wp-admin/ms-sites.php, when making a new site, if you enter the site address with a trailing slash, it throws an error, but if you don't, it is fine. Now don't ask me why, but I figured it would do that, maybe because it is a beta version. I don't know, but I just about couldn't believe it when I saw that.

We could trim the slash, but read the discription. ;)

Only the characters a-z and 0-9 recommended.

Of course, but that is not a requirement, and it won't strip dashes (-), which I like, by the way. But this throws an error, and doesn't even say why, when it would be so simple to remove it.

Closing this as wontfix on the basis that these screens are going to get a massive overhaul in a future release and verification will likely be covered in some form.

MS, and specifically the admin screens, are not for the faint of heart. It's fairly obvious where the problem lies if you have a double-slash.
