This is the only way to make each server look like it is on its own machine. NetScape used to translate names in the URL to their cannonical address unless there was a trailing slash. I don't know how you could force all pages and hotlists referring to you to keep the trailing slash, or if NetScape even does this any more (let alone other browsers). If you could, then you could compare the incoming reference as a string. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
