0.5 Bug in trailing-slash-land...

Hi,

it's probably already been flagged as a bug but 0.5's insistance
in not honoring a

GET /Somewhere

when you should have typed

GET /Somewhere/

is br0ken. The server thries to help out by pointing you to a "this page has
modes _here_" link. Only the link is the same old broken one we started off
with, so you go round and round in circles till you get a clue. Like I say,
this is probably old news - the UK is after all a full 48 hours behind the
states.

Ew.

This is one of the bugs introduced by B57. We already have two votes
(mine and David's) for a 0.5.1 with this patch removed. Three would
make a quorum.

Actually, 0.5.1 already exists, and does not show the bug. So I guess RobH
implicitly voted for building it...

David.

Hoh hum, might as well make it legal then. +1 for 0.5.1 The reason being
that it prevents subsequent releases ogf Apache from being simple plug-in
replacements of NCSA 1.3R - that alone should be reason enough.

Ay.
