permanent redir should avoid used when redir foo-dir to foo-dir/

[ttys3]

Motivation

The problem is about default browser behavior like Chrome.

for example the root dir has a sub dir named foo and it does exists.

when user agent access /foo, by default, tower ServeDir will redirect it to /foo/

this is OK.

but somehow, you moved the foo dir to other place. and you wnat't to put a file named foo

yes, they have the same name.

then if you try to access the uri again: /foo, Chrome will not contact the http server again

and just do a client side redirect since you tell Chrome that it is permanent redirect.

yes, it shows Status Code: 308 Permanent Redirect (from disk cache)

you'll never have the chance to access the file named foo if you don't do a Empty Cache and Hard Reload operation. (Hard Reload and Normal Reload can not clean a Permanent Redirect)

Solution

use temporay redirect.
