Hello,

after writing to thttpd-request at mail.acme.com , as suggested at http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/, I get no replies. 
Therefore cannot subscribe to the mailing list thttpd at mail.acme.com, that was last used in 2014 according to 
https://marc.info/?l=thttpd&r=1&w=2 .

My experience with thttpd shows that it eliminates terminating slashes in the requests, before callnig a CGI program.

cgit (https://git.zx2c4.com/cgit/) insists of receivng a terminating slash, in order to always work correctly.  See the
discussion at https://lists.zx2c4.com/pipermail/cgit/2019-January/thread.html labelled “Slash after /about”.

Please reach a consensus between cgit and thttpd whether a webserver is entitled to trim terminating slashes from the
URL.

Regards
  Дилян
