<p>Hi,</p>

<p>The recent discussion about ".html" at the end
of paths reminded me... I've been wondering about the reason why a
trailing slash is not allowed in aliases created by the Path module.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sometimes when I land on a page deep in a website, I want to
see more of what the website is about.&nbsp; So I go up a few folders
manually... eg. I read</p>

<p><a href="http://www.example.com/articles/internet/whyinternetisgood.html" target="_blank">www.example.com/articles/internet/whyinternetisgood.html</a>,
then I manually enter the following into the URL: <a href="http://www.example.com/articles/" target="_blank">www.example.com/articles/</a> in order
to see the index page containing all the articles.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>This reflects the basic function of HTML/HTTP.&nbsp; Obviously
Drupal doesn't work like that, under Drupal you would probably need to go
to <a href="http://www.example.com/articles" target="_blank">www.example.com/articles</a>.&nbsp;
I wouldn't mind being able to mimic the traditional functionality for
users like myself that do "manual navigation".</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Any thoughts?</p>
