[opencms-dev] Trailing slash required for directory problem

[Joe Desbonnet]

I notice from my logs I'm getting some 404s for URLs that correspond
to directories (but with the tailing slash missing).

Say you have http://www.mysite.com/about/index.html

In Apache you would expect the following URLs to work:
1.  http://www.mysite.com/about/index.html
2.  http://www.mysite.com/about/
3.  http://www.mysite.com/about   (via automatic redirect to
http://www.mysite.com/about/)

However scenario #3 does not work in the standard OpenCms + Apache
configuration. It just results in a 404 error.

Has anyone encountered this problem?

Regards,

Joe.
