CSS' issue on this topic, seems that there is no conflict ( neither obligation ) from the spec perspective, and it could be merged upstream

The patch only works when logged-in, else fails with 401 unauthorized
Example below (I removed manually the /) .
But do not fail with https://bourgeoa.solidcommunitypublic/test the / is always added back

Also note - I tested /public and it redirected me to /public/ correctly BUT it did not add the trailing slash to the browser location bar URI. NSS does add the slash to the URI.

I found this behavior

         logged-in  /public/  - view container
  not logged-in  /public/  - view container
          logged-in  /public  - view container
     not-logged-in /public - 401

Ah, good catch! I guess in that case our code is not reached. I'll fix that.

the browser location bar URI. NSS does add the slash to the URI.

I'll look into that as well! Maybe that's a subtle difference between a 301 and a 302 or something.

I have to look at CSS architecture and see where we can do the check for public resources.

Testing this with https://michielbdejong.pivot.pondersource.com/README/

As noted in #29 it's probably better to find a different point in the architecture to address this issue, and then fix it once and for all for both publish and non-public resources, and without confusing the DPoP checker and the locking mechanism.

Maybe the best place to do this is actually in mashlib:
When the Outline.expand: Unable to fetch ... error occurs, try an asynchronous fetch of the current URL but with a slash added/removed, and if that succeeds, redirect to it.
