If I'm not mistaken from an earlier post, you actually want more than to
just have

http://cfdev.cota.csulb.edu/cota

or

http://cfdev.cota.csulb.edu/cota/

work.  You want to also use the same rewrite for images, etc.
Without knowing the full extent of what you expect the code
to do I don't even know if mod_rewrite is right for the job.

To me it sounds like you might need some server-side technology like 

php or perl

to do some URL processing and redirects...

Thanks,

Well, for example, I would like to be able to input either of the 

following into my browser:

http://cfdev.cota.csulb.edu/cota

or

http://cfdev.cota.csulb.edu/cota/

and the web page will be displayed while the application server 

handling the requests all see localhost as the originating address.

My apologies for not being more clear.  cota is a folder, and the 

problem is that it's not appending the trailing slash.

thanks!

That's why I was saying you'd probably have to write something a

Its really hard if you don't already have a naming convention in mind.

That way you could just force it to rewrite without the ending slash 

if you wanted.

I think its adding the trailing slash because it assumes cota is a 

directory.

(Someone else on here might have a better explanation.)

What exactly are you trying to see happen, in human terms, i.e. how 

would

you like the request to unfold.
