Not a bug. HTTP has no way to differentiate between the idea of a "directory" and a "file", and no such difference actually exists. It's a user perspective that Wget tries to adhere to; but the only reliable means Wget has to differentiate between a file and a directory is by means of the trailing slash, otherwise there is absolutely no way to know whether the final AAA is a file or a "directory". (There is a heuristic that would be possible on _some_ servers, which we may implement at some point, which is that if the server automatically redirects "AAA" to "AAA/", we should assume that there should have been a trailing slash to begin with, and proceed accordingly.) - -- Micah J.
