Actually my experience is slightly different, i.e. the HTTP servers send a redirect which adds the trailing /. In a tomcat context, this actually may make an important difference: If you connect directly to an HTTP port on a tomcat with an URL like http://server:8260/app where app is an webapp running in this tomcat's webapps directory, the browser will be directed to http://server:8260/app/ If you have a JkMount in an apache httpd server mapping http://server/app/* to http://tomcat-server:someport/app/* then suddenly the trailing / is necessary in the initial browser url to reach the app's front page. regards - Erik --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
