    Trailing Slashes (Re: Stick in the mud...) —Steve Bliss
   Two advance notes: 1. Sorry to bring a possibly dead-horse issue again, but I actually have a new data point to add. 2. There didn't seem to be a truly stellar place to hang this follow-up, so I just picked a message that was high up in the thread. (...) (24 years ago, 18-Aug-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

   (...) This sounds like a bug in IE. (URL) refers to a different thing than (URL). (24 years ago, 18-Aug-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

   (...) Technically, yes. Human-factors-wise, no -- most people see them as the same. Steve (24 years ago, 21-Aug-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
   
        Re: Trailing Slashes (Re: Stick in the mud...) —Matthew Miller
   (...) It's a technical bug. :) It's alright for IE to generally assume that they are the same for the purposes of making a history, but it's wrong to use a mechanism that doesn't work if they're different. Web servers generally return a 301 Moved (...) (24 years ago, 21-Aug-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

   (...) That wouldn't fix the issue with LUGNET, because LUGNET doesn't redirect san-trailing-slash hits. Steve (24 years ago, 21-Aug-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
   
        Re: Trailing Slashes (Re: Stick in the mud...) —Matthew Miller
   (...) In cases where there isn't a redirection, it shouldn't do anything fancy to it. How would that not fix the issue? Maybe I misunderstood the problem. I thought you were saying that IE stores (URL) and (URL) as (URL) and (URL) in the history. (...) (24 years ago, 21-Aug-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
   
        Re: Trailing Slashes (Re: Stick in the mud...) —Todd Lehman
   (...) That's what I heard too. Hmm. That jives with my findings from MSIE3 long ago -- it was confused about the coloring. But here, this is an even worse bug. Steve, what version of MSIE are you seeing this with? The thing is, if you've never (...) (24 years ago, 21-Aug-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

   (...) MSIE5.0 (...) I agree completely. Too bad we live in a world with MSIE. (...) Bookmarks seem to work correctly -- the trailing slash is retained. (...) I'll double-check. Steve (24 years ago, 22-Aug-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
