[support] Path trailing slash

[John Fletcher]

Thanks Greg,

Was reading the page you linked to and it brought me to this comment which
seems to be a worthy consideration
http://drupal.org/node/160753#comment-257061, probably more worthy than
actually being able to hack the URL.  Global redirect appears to address the
issue.

Regards,
John.

There's an issue about it here: http://drupal.org/node/250525

That sounds like "hackable URLs" to me.

Sure, I created a video a while ago that discusses hackable URLs and
then shows how to achieve this using Pathauto and Views:

Enjoy!
