    Re: Not at all a pact with the devil... —Tom Stangl
   (...) But as Larry has argued before, whether YOU think you are in the right or not, you are going counterintuitive to the vast majority of the Internet. There ARE times where you should just get off the high horse and do something for the (...) (23 years ago, 27-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: Not at all a pact with the devil... —Todd Lehman
   (...) I don't think it's about being "right" or "wrong." The reason that it's "counterintuitive" relative to the rest of the Internet is that 99.999999% of websites don't let you create non-index webpages that don't use filename extensions. (...)

        Re: Not at all a pact with the devil... —Tom Stangl
     Sorry, your choices are the counterintuitive ones. 1) I don't know what universe you live in, but in MINE, the bulk of sites on the web translate (URL) to (URL) Member pages are the obvious problem here - you designed them wrong from the start, and (...)

        Re: Not at all a pact with the devil... —Kevin Loch
   I think we've been through this before. The reason that /foo/bar and /foo/bar/ are almost always synonymous is because most content (even dynamic) is filesystem based. That means you can have either the file "bar" or directory "bar" in directory (...) (23 years ago, 29-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

        Re: Not at all a pact with the devil... —Todd Lehman
   (...) Might wanna throw in a comment at the top stating that behavior is undefined (and may even result in a segmentation fault) if fixURL(buf) is called when *buf == "\0". As written above, code assumes that strlen(buf) >= 1. --Todd (23 years ago, 29-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

   (...) d'Oh. Shame on me. I mean when *buf == '\0'. :-) --Todd (23 years ago, 30-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
