Bug description:
In https://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=5269 , a user
reported that clicking the "Done" button after editing a portfolio
page, caused the user to be sent to a non-https version of their site,
interrupting their login session.
After a bit of troubleshooting, it turned out that the problem was
caused in part, by the fact that in raw/templates/view/blocks.tpl, the
form containing the "Done" button submits to the url
"{$WWWROOT}/view", rather than "{$WWWROOT}/view/". (note the missing
trailing slash)
With most web servers, if you try to access a directory, but leave the
trailing slash off the end, you will be redirected to the same URL
with a trailing slash. (See
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_dir.html#directoryslash for
documentation of this in Apache, for instance). Somehow, this was
causing problems for this user.
Since this can cause problems for some users, and since the correct
URL for a directory has a trailing slash on the end anyway, we should
fix this so that our directory URLs have a trailing slash. At the
least, it'll save on a little bit of web traffic, by avoiding a
redirect.
This problem was noticed in /view/blocks.tpl, but it's possible it
could occur in other templates as well.
