Bug#611975: Approx removes last string in URL when browsing a cached repository

[Fredrik Eriksson]

Package: Approx
Version: 4.5-1

When I use a browser for browsing through our cached repository without 
a trailing / in the URL Approx's web server returns broken links, that 
is it removes the last string of the URL in each link. Example:

With this URL in the address field

http://approx-server:9999/debian-security/dists

it returns an index with broken links

                               Index of /debian-security/dists

   Apache Server at security.debian.org Port 80

where, for example, lenny/ is a link to

http://approx-server:9999/debian-security/lenny/

which obviously does not exist, thus you receive 404: Not Found.
With a trailing slash in the address field this error does not occur.

This is more annoying than severe since apt-get, aptitude etc doesn't 
care and work fine either way, they know where to get their files.


I am using Debian GNU/Linux Squeeze 6.0, Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64.
