Extra slash after htdocs_location in generated URLs

[cmlenz@…]

Links in pages generated by trac contain an extra slash after the htdocs_location, so that URLs look like

    /trac//css/trac.css

instead of the expected

    /trac/css/trac.css

Well, this is actually a feature :) This approach will work even if htdocs_location does not end with a '/'.

But I guess that if it for some reason isn't acceptable to generate urls with double slashes we could apply the patch _and_ add some logic to make sure htdocs_location always has a trailing slash.

Well, "not acceptable" is a bit strong. But I really think it'd be much better to make the admin get the htdocs_location right, as opposed to adding cruft (albeit minor) to each and every page generated out by Trac.

Alternatively, the htdocs_location should be set to "/trac" instead of "/trac/" by default. That'd probably be the simplest solution.

(Reopening only to get this comment noticed, not because I think the current approach is "not acceptable ;-) )

Also note that many image links (such as the XML icon for RSS feeds and the icons in the timeline) do not handle a htdocs_location without trailing slash.

Fixed in [527].
