I think Rashmi and I mean the same thing by "translation" and "resolution".
Yes, the browser does the URL resolution, and if you have relative
URLs then the trailing slash is meaningful. If you remove it you will
change the meaning of relative URLs on that page.

I want to get rid of the trailing slash for style issues (really a small

rewriting.
Regarding URL rewriting, did you mean the following?
<rule>
<note>Testing trailing slash.</note>
<from>(.*)/</from>
<to>$1</to>
</rule>
Perhaps that works rather than a <to> value of (.*)
Are you sure about what you said: "URL Rewriting will not help in
eliminating the trailing slash because it's the browser that does the URL
translation." The way I interpreted Len's comments were that it's the server
that does the URL creation/translation, and the browser that does URL
resolution...two different concepts...
