But I disagree what you told. I made Web Robot, and tested it in Apache server. It went into infinite routine, because 'index.html/' generate infinite anchors. ex> http://www.apache.org/index.html/ -> http://www.apache.org/index.html/mirrors/ -> http://www.apache.org/index.html/mirrors/mirrors/=20 -> ... If some html-writer write some anchor trailed by '/' and Apache don't say '404 NOT found' or redirect URL=20 not-trailed by '/', Robot and WebBrowser got wrong URL=20 always. CERN and Netscape Enterprise and IIS ans other Webserver say '404 NOT FOUND' on that condition. Plz check them. Thanks 4 reading my bad english, I am not native-speaker. I'll wait your reply. cya.
