Description mjrauhal 2006-05-27 21:55:07 UTC
Please describe the problem:
If an URL being opened via ctrl-click or the context menu has a trailing slash,
it is dropped (the slash is not underlined either). The browser is called with
the slashless URL, which in the best case will generate a redirect to the
slashed URL, only slowing the user experience down a bit, and in the worst case
will give an error page.

(Yes, this does actually create errors, for example with a finnish trash
magazine "7 päivää"'s web pages at http://www.seiska.fi/ , pretty much any
article link should do.)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Move the mouse over an URL with a trailing slash, for example, say,
http://www.seiska.fi/huhhuh/kaakjuorut/_a38127/madonna+suututti+kirkon/
2. See the slash not be underlined
3. Ctrl-click the URL to open it


Actual results:
Using the example URL provided, an error page is displayed. With some other
URLs, a redirect might be issued that merely slows page loading down.

Expected results:
That gnome-terminal not erroneously remove the trailing slash from the URL when
opening it.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
While it is a minor bug and workaroundable, an average user may not be very much
aware what the problem is and how to work around it. The bug should be corrected
even if most web servers probably generate appropriate redirects to counteract
the bug.

Righto. I did do a search for "trailing slash" before submitting but that didn't match the original report which only talked about last slashes. But, thanks.
