We've headed way off topic here ;)  My point was simply that PHP might 
be issuing redirects in the same way that Apache does when given an URL 
without the trailing slash.  I don't know if PHP does this, but I 
imagine it is possible, especially if using existing libraries of other 
people's PHP code...

One case where I could see this happening is when PHP is used to 
format/display a heirarchy of data - eg. you have a script living at 
http://myserver.com/phpscript and you sent a request for 
http://myserver.com/phpscript/foo/bar.  Then the script runs with 
PATH_INFO set to "/foo/bar"... but maybe bar is a directory, and the PHP 
routine might chose to return a redirect to the full URL instead:
http://myserver.com/phpscript/foo/bar/file.xml
