> We should issue a redirect from http://127.0.0.1:5984/dbname -> http://127.0.0.1:5984/dbname/ (note trailing slash) as the latter seems more appropriate to represent the hierarchy.  As for document URLs, I am thinking they should probably also have a trailing slash, as it is possible to have document attachments at the next level of the hierarchy.  When using _show, this would also mean links to attachments would be simpler.
> As for view URLs (and _list), I don't see any reason for them to have trailing slashes.  In these cases, we should probably issue a 301 to the non-trailing-slash URL, or issue a 404.
