Andrea signals
me this interesting blog
about HTTP-related arguments, where an interesting tip
appears:
When you've to develop a web page and place an URL (an
HREF tag), instead of writing something like this:
<a
HREF="/surveys">Go to My Survey</a>
it's better to write the URL with this form:
<a HREF=/surveys/>Go to My
Survey</a>
That extra slash is going to
save you a round trip because the Web server has to return a 301 redirect
response and send the browser to /surveys/ when
the non-full qualified URL is sent. This is a little thing that permits you
to have a faster site response.
A great tip to remember...
