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."
