IIS URL forward slash

I have an customer facing website running under IIS 5 in loadblanced
environment.

my issue is one of the website is looking for "\" at the end of the URL the
url look like this

http:\\www.xyz.com\abc\ it works only with "\" at the end otherwise it
doesnt work

If i do not use the "\" at the end of the url it is not loading the default
page configured under document of the virtual directory.

but i want the URL without "\" at the end like http:\\www.xyz.com\abc

abc is virtual directory under the root of the website

I looking for some help in resolving this issue

Hi,

You should use
http://www.xyz.com/abc (with forward slash, not backward slash)

At that point IIS will issue a redirect to
http://www.xyz.com/abc/

That is the way HTTP works.

Cheers
Ken
