I think canonicalizing is a good idea to improve cacheability, too. For HTML, I favor trailing slash for consideration with people who want to mirror to a static site (e.g. with "wget -r -np"). That results in "$DOCROOT/foo/index.html" on the FS; making it easy for common configurations of static HTTP servers to serve for "/foo/" using the "$DOCROOT/foo/index.html" file. Without the trailing slash, "wget -r -np" would create a "$DOCROOT/foo" file, and it's not easy to serve the right Content-Type with a static file server that way. _______________________________________________ CGit mailing list CGit@lists.zx2c4.com http://lists.zx2c4.com/mailman/listinfo/cgit
