I'm wondering if DirectoryServerResource should have a broader notion of 
what a directory is.

Right now, if a URL appears to be referencing a directory but doesn't 
have slash on the end, it redirects to the version with the slash. 
That's fine if somebody comes to /foo and gets redirected to /foo/. But 
what if there's a query?

In my case, I have links in Facebook newsfeed items that go to a JS app 
served up via Restlet. For example, a newsfeed link might go to 
/foo/?ref=nf, so that I can track the source. However, because that 
doesn't end with a slash, DirectoryServerResource redirects that to 
/foo/, which prevents us from using Google Analytics to track sources.

Rather than looking at the whole URL for a trailing slash, shouldn't it 
just be looking at the path, not everything including the query?

Thanks,

William
