Thinking less of it myself (and I wrote it!). Probably best to zip 'em up and store them that way. (Kind of like packing your heavy sweaters away for the summer) Not a true PHP guru, but there seems to be a pretty good consensus that even a deactivated plugin can be a security risk.

Paul, could you add a trac ticket for this? Do you know if it's specific to that folder or does it happen with any directory if you put the slash on the end? Seems a small patch to strip slashes off that URL in processing would be in order. On Dec 6, 2008, at 4:27 PM, Paul Robinson

The problem I had was because the uploads directory path had the full *nix path in it rather that the wp-content/uploads path. So I don't know if it happens with the slash at the end. I agree though a little bit of script to remove the trailing slash should be rather easy. I can't test since I use
