I've sent this comment to André directly. But I think the correct place of this
comment is this database. So:

I have a directory AND a file also. And if I use an URI WITHOUT a trailing
slash, I expect to get a file... instead of a directory. I mean I think Apache
should *differentiate* URIs if a directory and a file (with a similar name)
exists. Currently Apache completes my URI, put a trailing slash at the end of it
and then serve it as a directory nevertheless there is a file in the filesystem
also, and I use correct URI which points to that file...


And here is his answer:

>>I have a directory AND a file also. And if I use an URI WITHOUT a 
>> trailing slash, I expect to get a file... instead of a directory.

That's what I've understood. The point is, why do you expect that? The
directory with exactly the name requested does exist. The redirect
to the trailing slash thereafter is just for making the URI canonical.

Perhaps an option for mod_negotiation would be feasible. Patches are
welcome, of course  :)
