Yes they do. Please read RFC1738. URLs such as the one above lack the (non-optional) document part. > Adding the / to the homepage is the job of the web browser, > not of the web server. Adding the missing slash is a misfeature of popular browsers. When it comes to missing slashes after subdirectory names (e.g. ), there's no way for the browser to know that there should be a trailing slash there. All HTTP/1.x servers I know of send back a code 301.
