Remove double slash from URL

Greetings,

I've been attempting to remove double slashes from our URLs, and redirect to the correct URL, but I'm having trouble getting it to work correctly, due to where the double slashes have been located.

Sample URL:

www.xyz.com//?articles.view/articleNo/34279/title/Test-Title

I've managed to get the URL Rewrite module to remove double slashes anywhere in the query string (parameters), but when the double slash is located at the end of the domain name, as in the example above, I have been unable to get the double slash removed.

I would like to do a permanent redirect to the correct URL when the double slash is found, as above.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Bill
