Uhhhhhh ... that is not so. At least not with Apache.
If you go back to the RFCs, as I did a while ago, you'll see
that `http://servername' is legal and (I think) a synonym of
`http://servername/'. Do a telnet on your favorite server,
request the /, and behold, the page, no 304.
On the other hand, a subdirectory certainly has the behaviour
you mention.
If `http://www.enternet.se/foo/' exists, asking for
`http://www.enternet.se/foo' will in my experience generate a
round trip.
I suppose it's because `http://servername/' is unambiguous.

But it does look better with a slash at the end :-)
