[dba-VB] URL syntax for a webservice

or not...

The first part is the actual address:

ie.  http://someapi.org/api 

...and the second part, preceded with a "?" are the list of parameters, each parced by a "&" being passed to the following page:

ie. ?key=122696&country=dk

Note: some say the the trailing slash "/" should be added address, for security purposed but there is no agreement on this.

Hi all

What is the preferred syntax for this? A trailing slash or not after the path?
For example:

    http://someapi.org/api/?key=122696&country=dk

or:

    http://someapi.org/api?key=122696&country=dk

I think the first, but in various examples I've seen the last.
