Hi Reto,
This was the point of the trailing slash functionality: to enable
automatic redirection if we choose to specify it.
Jersey does this, it is turned off by default, and is enabled with a
Jersey specific feature. The reason it is turned off by default is
because automatic redirection tended to confuse developers.
