It would be far better to put any slashes in the query string. The problem is that slashes have meaning to the HTTP specification, so multiple slashes get normalized to a single slash (very important for security). But you can safely put slashes after the '?', since the normalization stops at the '?'. -- Scott > > -- > View this message in context: > http://www.nabble.com/Variable-number-of-slashes-in-the-url-tp18015179p18015179.html > Sent from the Resin mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > > > _______________________________________________ > resin-interest mailing list > [email protected] > http://maillist.caucho.com/mailman/listinfo/resin-interest _______________________________________________ resin-interest mailing list [email protected] http://maillist.caucho.com/mailman/listinfo/resin-interest
