BUG: Trailing slash on explore page resulting in bare 404 about qu

[rosskarchner]

I think this is exactly backwards. It's a fluke (maybe mod_speling at work?) that /hmda/explore even works, the correct URL is /hmda/explore.html.

When you run grunt build, the file structure is:

api.html
explore.html
index.html
learn-more.html
static/*

If we want /hmda/explore/ to behave like a directory, then the build script should generate a directory structure to support it.

[rosskarchner]

/hmda (/hmda/ ) behaves that way because it is a directory.

[konklone]

Having the build script generate a directory to support it seems better than adding a .html to your URL (and thus committing your URLs more tightly to a filesystem).

Thanks for the bug report, @NoahKunin, and thanks for the discussion everyone.

This bug actually exists in other software, not in Qu itself. We're going to track it internally as it involves server configuration changes, as well.

Good find! But, this is actually outside of Qu.

[NoahKunin]

Thanks, but @konklone deserves co-credit. My stray typo when I wrote the URL down, his click through and observation.

I've noticed a similar thing with eRegs (see http://www.consumerfinance.gov/eregulations/1005 vs. http://www.consumerfinance.gov/eregulations/1005/ ) so I'd love to hear what fix we hit upon.

[contolini]

Also affects the API: hmda/ vs hmda.

[marcesher]

Thanks @contolini. We'll track that at #152

Giving @davidakennedy and @ascott1 a heads-up since we're all working off of the same initial codebase.
