1. file.html and file.html/ give same thing

Hey all, got a question.

this is weird.
if you request a URL such as http://www.someserver.com/file.html/ you actually
get the file http://www.someserver.com/file.html

now way is that ?

Why don't servers just give error 404, Not Found, for the first URL, since
that URL is asking for the default file in a directory called file.html or the
listing of it, in case there's no default file there ?
It's not asking for the file file.html but for the directory, so why do I get
a file ?

I'm confused by this....

Thanks in advance,

Otis
