↳ In-reply-to » When linking to a location that is a directory, I always add the trailing slash. Always. It seems that more than one host agrees with what I do—which isn't unique to me, many people does it, and has done it since the birth of the web, which is why I also do it. There is no reason to leave out the training slash other than sheer laziness.

@david@netbros.com Hey, interesting link and discussion.
I think everything was screwed up when we stopped having the concept of directories, and the resources were not files, like on some Restful APIs and such.

And then the frameworks place their own ideas for managing routing. I’ve had the question, what’s ‘better’?

My preference as a user are shortest URLs although I get the point of the trailing slash and the correctness behind the absolute and relative links.
