ALGAO

Hi, The link to the ALGAO website on the ALGAO page was corrected as being broken, but it appears that it still is after your correction - being new to this is there something in the way the link was originally written which made it appear broken that I can avoid in future? Thanks in advance.V-Bede 16:24, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, yeah, the URL had 'http://http://' at the start, rather than the intended 'http://'.
I took a look at it just there and the reason that the corrected URL wasn't working is because there was an extra '/' at the end of the URL that shouldn't have been there. Web servers make a distinction between URLs ending with slashes and ones that don't. The ones with slashes represent directories, whereas the ones without represent files.
NB This can be further shortened to 'http://www.algao.org.uk/', which I've done. Cheers, CmdrObot 17:56, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
