No, it is one of those boundary cases with Servlet.
What servlet container are you using?
GF will redirect from
http://localhost/app to
http://localhost/app/
For example, with the bookstore sample:
# curl -v
http://localhost:8080/bookstore
* About to connect() to localhost port 8080 (#0)
* Trying ::1... Connection refused
* Trying fe80::1... Connection refused
* Trying 127.0.0.1... connected
* Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 8080 (#0)
