>Subject: OS X Server: making a final slash automatic in resolving URLs

We're running a Mac OS X Server 10.1 on which web service has been
configured to automatically append "index.html" to the end of any URL
request which comes in without a file name at the end.  While this
works as expected for addresses which end in a slash, it is not
working for URLs which don't end in a slash.  For example:

      http://www.language.brown.edu/CZH/  correctly resolves to:
      http://www.language.brown.edu/CZH/index.html .  However,

      http://www.language.brown.edu/CZH  only yields error messages:
      "Netscape is unable to locate the server LangLabServer 16080"
      and similarly, IE reports: "The specified server could not be found."

Can anyone suggest what the problem might be?

Thanks for your help,

David
