Oops, sorry. /weblog should redirect to /weblog/
Personally, I like URLs to be as simple as possible and not have any unnecessary characters. I also like the idea for someone's blog or website of having the URL that you publish on a business card or tv commercial match the one that is actually *displayed* in the browser when you visit the page. Thus my last post.
However, the best best practice for http:// URLs is to always use a trailing slash on a "directory". A "directory" being anything that is used as a base for a relative URL that may be resolved by the browser. (Interestingly the URI RFC http://www.gbiv.com/protocols/uri/rfc/rfc3986.html makes almost no mention of "directory")
In your (Allen's) first message you were exclusively referring to the main URL for the weblog, right? (i.e. the issue doesn't apply to any other URLs)
In the main weblog URL case it should redirect to the trailing slash, because that is clearly a directory and there will be relative links from there.
