autoindex does not generate trailing "/" in URLs for directories
httpd in OpenBSD 5.7 with "directory auto index" generates trailing slashes "/" in the HTML text output ">brA/", but not in the corresponding URLs (href="brA"), see example page below:
... <a href="brA">brA/</a> 02-Mar-2008 16:15 - ...
When the user clicks on those relative URLs, browsers attempt to fetch files, instead of directories. httpd responds with 301 Moved Permanently and redirect browsers to http://site.com/pfstat/brA/.
If auto index would append trailing slashes also to the URL, then that would save such redirects (actually two redirects when using SSL with HSTS, the first is a 301 to http://site.com/pfstat/brA/, and then second a 307 to https://site.com/pfstat/brA/).
Is this correct by design, or an oversight/bug?

I think this has already been fixed 2015-04-25 (just past the 5.7 tag).
