It's possible I messed up... the line of code is specifically:

        cgi.setResponseLocation(cgi.requestUri ~ "/");

which is supposed add the slash. But maybe my requestUri member
is wrong on IIS, so it saw just the slash, and that redirected to the
other thing.


Hmmmm, a quick web search tells me that IIS doesn't set REQUEST_URI
the same way as Apache, so this is probably a bug in cgi.d. I
thought that was a standard, but it looks like it might be an
Apache extension.

Huh, I've gotta think about this.

That's interesting... I updated my dmd but didn't see this....

but yes that's definitely a bug, also in my copy of the code.
Add a break to it.

You might want to grab a new copy of dom.d. I think your copy is
pretty old in general, since that line number is a few hundred
lines different than my copy.

http://arsdnet.net/dcode/dom.d

The newer one has stuff like requireSelector and requireElementById
that we discussed a while ago, among other things.

(that dcode folder is updated on random whims. I do changes for
myself in another location then copy it over usually when I talk
about it on the newsgroup.)


Anywho.

That's embarrassing... every time bearophile mentions fallthrough,
I defend it - it's sometimes useful and besides, those bugs
*never* happen to *me*.

Blargh.


(the reason I didn't catch this before is that case is a private
extension to CSS' selector, that I very, very rarely use, and
nobody else uses it either, since it's nonstandard, so it hasn't
been caught in my little browser I'm writing with this either.)
