If you are requesting a directory, you must include the trailing slash.
Most (all?) HTTP servers these days are smart enough to issue a redirect
if you request a directory without the slash, however, Apache included.
So, "http://www.netaxs.com"; should redirect to "http://www.netaxs.com/";,
for example.

This is one of the reasons why it is imperative to have a correct Server-
Name statement in your httpd.conf file.  Otherwise, the redirect has a
good chance of failing.
