http://www.w3.org and http://www.w3.org/ are two different URIs that identify the same resource. They identify the same resource because the two different URIs specify the same effective procedure for connecting to the resource (whether via GET, POST, or some other HTTP method). The URIs http://www.W3.org and http://WWW.w3.OrG also identify the same resource. While these refer to the same resource, there is no normative canonical form, and XHTML (strict or not) has no requirement for URI canonicalization. > But the HTTP 1.1.RFC 2116 says about get-requests: > > Note that the absolute path cannot be empty; if none is > present in the original URI, it MUST be given as "/" (the > server root). > > > So while http://www.w3.org and http://www.w3.org/ are different URLs it > seems that you cannot dereference the first one - or maybe you're > supposed to put the complete URL into the get-request (GET > http://www.w3.org HTTP/1.1), not sure.
