The second request for /example.html/ does NOT get redirected to /example.html even though example.html exists as a file and not as a directory. >How-To-Repeat: http://www.acornusers.org/index.htm/ (where index.html is the correct filename) >Fix: (1) Change mod_speling to notice and remove trailing slash if the name it has suggested is a file. (2) Match and redirect to files which are incorrectly accessed as directories. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, you need] [to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line and make sure the] [subject line starts with the report component and number, with ] [or without any 'Re:' prefixes (such as "general/1098:" or ] ["Re: general/1098:").
