[Zope] Hmm weird!

Sorry for the obtuse subject but, let's see if I can explain, and let's see
if other people are seeing this:

I've got this DTML page:

<html><body>
<h2><dtml-var title_or_id></h2>
<a href="index_html">click here to refresh</a>
</body>
</html>

OK looks fine, but the interesting bit is the anchor at the bottom.

Depending on the URL typed into the browser address bar I get different
results (but I think they should be the same results).

If I put http://localhost:12380/test I get this result:

<html><body>
<h2>index_html</h2>
<a href="index_html">click here to refresh</a>
</body>
</html>

Notice the address in the anchor it looks ok, but

If I put http://localhost:12380/test/ into the address bar I get:

<html><body>
<h2>index_html</h2>
<a href="index_html">click here to refresh</a>
</body>
</html>

Which I have to admit looks identical, *BUT* the anchor takes you to
different addresses.

The first one takes you to the index_html in the root, the second one takes
you to the index_html in the test folder as it should.

If anyone can understand what I'm going on about and if then any of you have
any ideas, *please* let me know.

I'm not sure if this is a Zope problem (I don't really see how it could be
since the address is the same), or if it's a browser problem.  However I'm
dead confused here.

I can't publish the real address for you top verify this, your going to have
to believe me or test it yourself.
