Not if the url does not contain any file path.  According to RFC2068, if 
the url passed to a user agent is of the form http://hostname, then the 
GET request will be made to the / location on hostname server.

About the OP, are you getting a 404 or are you getting those Internet 
Explorer friendly error messages?  If it is the latter, then check to 
see the actual error response from the server (by doing a telnet on port 
80).
