Hi Patrick,
actually, during some refactoring, the 1.1m4 release has updated the former behaviour which has been restored in 1.1m5.
The main idea is that a directory must be identified with a trailing slash in order to do not make the confusion with a simple resource.
Here are some pointers that explain better than I could:

Best regards,
Thierry Boileau

I have a static Directory routed to "http://someurl"In 1.1m4 a client could do a GET to either this URL or the URL with a "/" appended, and the static index.html file would be returned. I moved up to 1.1m5 over the weekend and my tests indicate a redirect to the client now occurs for "http://someurl" to the URL with a "/" appended. This does not seem like a really big deal, but if most requests are to the shorter URL, then each will incur a redirect. Is there a reason for this new behavior? Thanks -Patrick
