<DIV><SPAN class=015111208-13022006><FONT face=Arial size=2>When a browser
requests <A
href="http://<server>/foldername">http://<server>/foldername</A> without a
trailing slash, the usual behaviour for web servers is to send a redirect to the
'real' address, <A
href="http://<server>/foldername/">http://<server>/foldername/</A>.
The usual reason given for this is so that relative links in the resulting
content may be served correctly - otherwise, the browser would attempt to get
e.g. an image referred to as "../images/bla.jpg" as <A
href="http://<server>/foldername../images/bla.jpg">http://<server>/foldername../images/bla.jpg</A>.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=015111208-13022006><FONT face=Arial size=2>As far as I can see,
OpenCms (6.0.4) doesn't send redirects like this. Of course, it doesn't
seem to matter if all page links are at least URI-absolute (e.g.
"/images/bla.jpg"), but (i) that may not always be the case, and (ii) there may
be other implications which I can't think of.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

bug - what do you think?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
