Barney is right, but you may need to configure your web server
accordingly. If you're using a single virtual web server in
development, and pointing it to a web root directory containing your
web sites, and those web sites would normally be web root directories
themselves in production, your default slash mapping ("/") will not
match up.
I would recommend that you replicate your production environment as
closely as possible. You can even replicate domain names and ports, if
you like, using a multihoming web server and your hosts file. If
you're using IIS on Windows XP, you are limited to a single virtual
server; you could switch to Apache or change the web root as
appropriate for the web site you're working on now. If you're using
IIS on Vista, that will let you create multiple virtual servers just
like IIS on a Windows server platform.
