Trailing Forward Slash gives 404
Posted: Sat Mar 07, 2020 1:09 pm
If there is a trailing Forward Slash / at the end of any Mod Portal URL you get a 404 error.

This link will give a 404 error:

I understand that according to the industry standard HTTP rules this is expected behaviour, but there are plenty of websites that "ignore" a trailing Forward Slash (at least as far as the user is concerned), and this 404 behaviour could confuse some less knowledgeable users.
