Curious I am now, trailing slash?

This wasn’t encoded with a trailing slash, nor does the scanner app I use decode it with a trailing slash.

I’m not sure, but if it is decoding with a trailing slash on your side, that might be your scanner app doing that automatically.

Formally speaking, coming from the dialup internet days, full proper URLs were meant to end in a trailing slash, and if you didn’t type the trailing slash in yourself, some web browsers would have to ping the site twice before it figured out it needed that trailing slash, slowing down website loading time.

I dunno, thank goodness the internet has evolved enough where www.time.gov can be simplified to time.gov

On my end, my web browser itself (Fennec, a fork of Firefox), put the trailing slash in on its own… 🤷
