    Also note that 'www.site.com/directory' and 'www.site.com/directory/' (with trailing slash) is not the same.

    Browsers can't automatically add the slash to directories, because there's no guarentee that they are. It's quite acceptable to have a URL in the form /path/file with no extension, so the browser has to check with the server. If it is a directory after all, then server will tell the browser to add the slash on the end of the URL.

    Cryo.
