We've headed way off topic here ;) My point was simply that PHP might be issuing redirects in the same way that Apache does when given an URL without the trailing slash. I don't know if PHP does this, but I imagine it is possible, especially if using existing libraries of other people's PHP code...

One case where I could see this happening is when PHP is used to format/display a heirarchy of data - eg. you have a script living at http://myserver.com/phpscript and you sent a request for http://myserver.com/phpscript/foo/bar. Then the script runs with PATH_INFO set to "/foo/bar"... but maybe bar is a directory, and the PHP routine might chose to return a redirect to the full URL instead:
http://myserver.com/phpscript/foo/bar/file.xml
