Every so often, I see a program that assumes one page/site is represented by exactly one URL. That's not right because of things like extra slashes and percent-sign escape characters. Now, it's perhaps unreasonable to expect every application to condense URLs into some standard form (and avoid breaking them in the process), but I just noticed this in Blogger's statistics page:
What's up with those two Google entries? One has a trailing slash, one doesn't. If I was direly needing to analyze my traffic sources, this would make it a bit more complicated. URLs are more than strings, they are the string
representation of pages.
