Some background from the "usual" use of http: - The trailing slash is "mandatory" for an URL directing to a folder on the web server files tree - It generally doesn't hurt to skip it: if you don't type it in a browser, most (all?) servers will actually force the browser to redirect to the URL including trailing slash - However, the "legal" and safe method is to include the trailing slash - for main site address (http://www.example.com/) - subfolders (http://www.example.com/section/) While all decent browser will handle correctly the redirect, opensim is based of plenty of submodules which may not do it) BUT: Some frameworks (including those used in some solutions made for OpenSim) make use of RewriteRules, and in some case urls do look like "folder type" url while they aren't. In this case, the correct and safe method depends to the framework, it may or may not include trailing slash. In most cases, if you type the URL without slash in your browser and the slash is happened automatically, you will consider it is needed. -- http://www.speculoos.net/ secondlife://speculoos.net:8002/ Speculoos, the belgian cookie-flavored metaverse Le 1 mars 2012 à 02:32, Justin Clark-Casey a écrit : I've no idea about http but I imagine .net will complain if it's not there. As for slashes, the urls in example files do not have / terminated urls, as far as I can see, so I would leave them off.

I've been using a mixed set of http(s) and slash/no-slash in my Config URLs for well over 3 years now and am just now getting around to asking this question. Is there a standard convention on this?
