                              title   = "rack-attack Gem for Ruby missing normalization before request path processing"
                              message = "When using rack-attack with a rails app, developers expect the request path to be normalized. In particular, trailing slashes are stripped so a request path \"/login/\" becomes \"/login\" by the time you're in ActionController. Since Rack::Attack runs before ActionDispatch, the request path is not yet normalized. This can cause throttles and blacklists to not work as expected. E.g., a throttle: throttle('logins', ...) {|req| req.path == \"/login\" } would not match a request to '/login/', though Rails would route '/login/' to the same '/login' action."
