Poorly configured web servers

  Not necessarily. "/foo/" and "/foo" are different URLs. In my view HN is wrong to add the trailing slash (if indeed it does do that). I guess it is an effort towards deduplication.

    It would even be less wrong to remove trailing slashes instead, because it's a path segment separator and there's no segment here after the last the slash. It's a rather odd choice to be adding slashes.

      Betting it was an attempt to change bare domain urls from 'www.example.com' to 'www.example.com/' which is reasonable, but not for something with more path than that.

    They should at least redirect to the correct url.
