Section SRV.11.2.2 of the Servlet 2.4 spec says that an incoming path /baz
will match the pattern /baz/* (it's an example in the table).
We have talked about using redirects - and this is what Tomcat and
Glassfish do for the /contextPath case - but my experience with non-root
resources in Jersey like @Path("/foo/{foo}/") indicate that a 200 response
is returned both with and without the trailing slash. So if we want
consistency with non-root resources in the Jersey servlet maybe we should
return 200 instead of redirecting.
