 - The first section deals with canonicalizing the request path. The goal is to ensure that requests that target a directory on disk actually have the trailing slash `/` added to the request path, so that only a single URL is valid for requests to that directory.
 
-  This is performed by using a request matcher that matches only requests that _don't_ end in a slash, and which map to a directory on disk which contains an `index.php` file, and if it matches, performs a HTTP 308 redirect with the trailing slash appended. So for example, it would redirect a request with path `/foo` to `/foo/` (appending a `/`, to canonicalize the path to the directory), if `/foo/index.php` exists on disk.
+  This canonicalization occurs only if the `try_files` subdirective contains `{path}/index.php` (the default).

 - The next section deals with performing path rewrites based on whether a matching file exists on disk. This also has the side-effect of remembering the part of the path after `.php` (if the request path had `.php` in it). This is important for Caddy to correctly set the FastCGI environment variables.

   - Second, it checks if `{path}/index.php` is a file that exists on disk. If so, it rewrites to that path. For requests to a directory like `/foo/` it'll then look for `/foo//index.php` (which gets normalized to `/foo/index.php`), and rewrite the request to that path if it exists. This behaviour is sometimes useful if you're running another PHP app in a subdirectory of your webroot.
 
-  - Lastly, it'll rewrite to `index.php` if that file exists (it almost always should for modern PHP apps). This allows your PHP app to handle any request for paths that _don't_ map to files on disk, by using the `index.php` script as its entrypoint.

 - And finally, the last section is what actually proxies the request to your PHP FastCGI (or PHP-FPM) service to actually run your PHP code. The request matcher will only match requests which end in `.php`, so, any file that _isn't_ a PHP script and that _does_ exist on disk, will _not_ be handled by this directive, and will fall through.
