Since I use a reverse proxy server in front of Apache, it redirects the requests to different ports that were not opened by pf. As soon as I open those ports, the URLs without trailing slash work.

That's the problem combined with the way my reverse proxy works: The original request (without trailing slashes and at port 80) appears as from the local IP. Apache redirects it by appends a trailing slash to the original URL. But this time, it appears from the client's IP at some ports that I defined in the reverse proxy settings. Anyway, I open those ports in pf and now things work as before. Thanks, Zoong ----- End forwarded message -----
