Well, here it is just a test: telnet www.site.com 80 GET HTTP://www.site.com HTTP/1.1 Host: www.site.com And it works. So my opinion is Apache could add a "/" to these requests that actually don't require anything from the host. But anyway, the method of using <LocationMatch> instead of <Location> for "/" path works fine, and is faster than other methods. Teddy
