... folder URL without trailing '/' ... I know that Zope adds a <base href="..."> when there is an html head section, but is the head section required?
I notice that Apache, when a bare folder is requested, comes back with the folder with the trailing slash automatically. Is there a reason why Zope does not do this? Should I just be educating the newbie html coders, or is this a bug? I do not think, it is a bug.
The alternative would be to use a redirect with the modified URL. It would be less efficient, make problems for request methods other then "GET" and cause messages in the mailing list about browser differences wrt. redirects (I just read one today)... Apache can safely use redirect, when an URL hit a folder (which probably only happens for "GET" requests). For Zope, it would be much more problematic. Dieter
