<br>
Here's another fun one (actually got bit by this last month) which is
apparently normalized client side in browsers:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://example.org/foo/../">http://example.org/foo/../</a> vs. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://example.org/">http://example.org/</a><br>
<br>
In general I think there is a server best practice here which involves
returning 200 OK only for one canonical version of a URL, and 301's or
404's for any other variants. And a best practice for clients is to
not rely on the Java URI class for equivalence checking :).<br>
