Description

The URL normalisation given by APPEND_SLASH is useful.

I may wish to retain that but also have a sensitive view that opts-out of that behavior, to avoid it being revealed in a potential URL enumeration.

I propose adjusting CommonMiddleware to detect a _should_append_slash boolean attribute on the view itself, to allow such an opt-out.

Agreed. I would use should_append_slash (without a leading underscore) and probably add and document only a view decorator (similar to csrf_exempt()).

I would use should_append_slash

No problem. I had in mind do_not_call_in_templates (but, looking it up, it doesn't have an underscore.)
