Hi All,<br>
<br>
I've finally found the conditions that cause a problem in Drupal, but it's<br>
so odd that I don't know how to search for an answer.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>Congratulation on the conversion to Drupal!<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Basically under some circumstances a URL path element is repeated. This<br>

can be see in these two URLs:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.netdirect.ca/software/packages/barry" target="_blank">http://www.netdirect.ca/software/packages/barry</a><br>
<a href="http://www.netdirect.ca/software/packages/barry/" target="_blank">http://www.netdirect.ca/software/packages/barry/</a><br>
<br>
The URL with the trailing slash will have links on the page (look down to<br>
Getting Started) with duplicate /barry/ elements. e.g.<br>
<a href="http://www.netdirect.ca/software/packages/barry/barry/install.php" target="_blank">http://www.netdirect.ca/software/packages/barry/barry/install.php</a><br>
</blockquote><div><br>Looking at the HTML source, I see this:<br><br><pre id="line144"><<span class="start-tag">li</span>><<span class="start-tag">a</span><span class="attribute-name"> href</span>=<span class="attribute-value">"barry/install.php"</span>>Install Barry from binary packages</<span class="end-tag">a</span>></<span class="end-tag">li</span>><br>
<<span class="start-tag">li</span>><<span class="start-tag">a</span><span class="attribute-name"> href</span>=<span class="attribute-value">"barry/cvs.php"</span>>Compile Barry from tarball, CVS, or git</<span class="end-tag">a</span>></<span class="end-tag">li</span>><br>
</pre>If you change that to <br><br><pre id="line144"><<span class="start-tag">li</span>><<span class="start-tag">a</span><span class="attribute-name"> href</span>=<span class="attribute-value">"/barry/install.php"</span>>Install Barry from binary packages</<span class="end-tag">a</span>></<span class="end-tag">li</span>><br>
<<span class="start-tag">li</span>><<span class="start-tag">a</span><span class="attribute-name"> href</span>=<span class="attribute-value">"/barry/cvs.php"</span>>Compile Barry from tarball, CVS, or git</<span class="end-tag">a</span>></<span class="end-tag">li</span>><br>
</pre><br>Making it an absolute URL, the issue goes away.<br><br>Also, this module helps by eliminating all trailing slashes.<br><br><a href="http://drupal.org/project/globalredirect">http://drupal.org/project/globalredirect</a><br>

Any ideas on the problem?<br>
