It is of consequence to the server. More processing required to figure out that the url was wrong and should actually contain a trailing / Far easier to just return a 404 if no exact match was found. I've seen at least one server that returned a message saying - "you wanted foo/ but you wanted foo/. I am not going to do the redirect for you, type in the correct url yourself." -- We have a equal opportunity Calculus class -- it's fully integrated. _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
