I dug out another testimonial to the interoperability problems of not consistently using trailing slashes. Geoff Alexander said: "We are developing a WebDAV server and have encountered interoperability problem with request on collections in which the resource does not have a trailing slash. Where do things stand on this issue? Our testing indicates that the above does not work in the real world. For example, both IE 5 and Netscape 4.7 do not properly process relative references in response to a GET request on a collection without the trailing slash.. I guess one could say that IE and Netscape only support the HTTP protocol and not WebDAV protocol, but then our server would have to determine whether the request was HTTP or WebDAV (which is not a workable solution). Also, we have encountered interoperability problem with other WebDAV clients." http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-dist-auth/2002AprJun/0247.html lisa
