    /articles/the-compact-box-model-hack-for-css-developers 47 Fixed this so it wouldn't matter if the slash was included or not

    For some reason, I'm getting tons of 404 hits and it's because the forward slash is being removed '/' and I can't understand why, because all links internally have the forward slash. It seems like it's being removed by something on certain browsers.

    A little update:

    It seems to be a java browser/spider that's accessing/crawling my site:

    Details =
    Actual page: /index.php
    Requested page: /about
    IP of user: 70.147.29.182
    Origin:
    Browser: Java/1.4.1_04

    And it doesn't seem like following my directory structure.
