Re: [Zope-dev] ZServer should redirect for folder objects?

Hi!

...

I've been doing some work with Zope and I've noticed strange behavior with regards to ZServer and relative links.

When a client requests an object that is a folder and the request URL does not have a trailing slash, the HTTP server should return an HTTP 301 Redirect to the correct URL with the slash, right? Hmm?

Apache may do this, but I did not see a clause in the HTTP spec that would require this behaviour.

For Caches it might also be good as otherwise both objects might count as two different objects.. That's why apache is doing it, I think.

Zope does not do it, but sets a "base" tag.

which prevents from mirroring the site in some cases.. at least it used to be.. but that's another story.. ;-) cheers, Christian
