Thanks Chuck. Originally, at the time I submitted this question, I was
definitely not experiencing a 302 or automatic refresh/resubmit. I was
just experiencing a "The page cannot be displayed" error in IE6. But
with your hint, I figured this must be browser-related. So I downloaded
and installed IE7 just for kicks (and because now it's officially
available). At this point, on my IE7 box, I am experiencing the resubmit
that you talk about -- and that's good. But from any IE6 box, I still
get "The page cannot be displayed".
Try this from IE6:
http://ghazzaoui.org:443/mp3/
http://ghazzaoui.org:443/mp3
The first one works because it has a trailing slash. The second one
doesn't work. In IE7, they both work. Funny.
(Note: I use port # 443 to serve HTTP because my ISP blocks servers on
port 80)

Subject: Eliminating the need for a trailing slash in
accessing sub-directoryresources on a Tomcat HTTP server
My Tomcat 5.5 installation requires that you enter a trailing slash at
the end of your URL if it doesn't end with a filename.
Perhaps that's an artifact of whatever platform or JVM you're using, but
5.5.20 as released does not require the slash on our proprietary system
nor on any Windows box I've tried.
The default servlet (the one normally generating directory listings)
does initially return a 302 status with a modified URL including the
trailing slash, which a browser will immediately resubmit. Is this what
you're referring to?
