I'm fairly sure there is no difference between the two. The browser contacts www.google.com on the default port 80 and then sends a GET / request regardless of whether the last '/' is in the address bar. Take a look at one of the many browser plugins like Firebug for Firefox to see it for your self.
Now if you mean URLs like http://www.my.page.com/mydir becoming http://www.my.page.com/mydir/, that's a different story. I suspect the first request get's a 30x redirect to the second one. --David lanxiazhi wrote: > I discovered that when I made a request to www.google.com > the browser will change the address to www.google.com/ (add a slash) > what's the mechanism under this? > and what is tomcat approach on this? > thanks. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
