Windows server URL redirect question

[Fatbat]

Unfortunately I have a client that is fully invested in a Windows server hosting solution. They have an app out in the wild that has a referring URL in it that looks like

http://www.domain.com/directory/

I need to redirect this URL to

http://www.domain.com/somepage.php

so I've created the offending directory and stuck a web.config file in there that looks like:

<configuration>
	<system.webServer>
		<httpRedirect enabled="true" destination="http://www.domain.com/sompage.php" httpResponseStatus="Permanent" />
	</system.webServer>
</configuration>

Which works if someone types in

http://www.domain.com/directory

without the trailing slash, but breaks the page if someone clicks on the

http://www.domain.com/directory/

with the trailing slash because the trailing slash is getting passed to the destination URL like

http://www.domain.com/sompage.php/

even though the redirect hasn't got a slash.

How can I write the redirect to omit the slash in the referring URL? I've spent a couple hours scouring G for an answer to no avail. Any help would be most welcome.

I don't really deal with windows servers, but I think that you need to add exactDestination="true"
Alternately you can try microsoft's wizard
