IIS ASP page displayed blank

Hi Kristofer,

With my W2K3+IIS6 setups I've noticed that IIS will sometimes append a
slash (/) to virtual directories beneath the default site. Other times
it doesn't. Not sure why yet, but it seems to be related to whether the
directory has a default content page (and possibly whether the page is a
php script I've got PHP installed as isapi).

Apologies if this is a silly question; I'm definitely a IIS newby and
just trying to figure out its configuration idiosyncracies.

Do you know the underlying reasons why the trailing slash is meaningful
and why IIS might put it in (or leave it out)?

Thanks,
Simon

The pages are not blank. I am having this problem with two different sites.
One is OWA and the other is the Microsoft E-Learing website that comes with
the software assurance E-Learing cd's.
