I've updated my example to show the issue I'm having:

https://solarpunk.cool/example

The images will only load if I go to:

https://solarpunk.cool/example/

or if i go to:

https://solarpunk.cool/example/index.html

It is likely that site visitors will not remember to add a trailing 
slash when visiting parts of the page.

Coincidentally, I received an email this morning from someone reporting 
that https://solarpunk.cool/zines/web-zine-01

was broken (of course, https://solarpunk.cool/zines/web-zine-01/ works 
fine).


Is it expected that I should add only absolute paths throughout the site 
to anticipate someone

forgetting to add a trailing slash, or is it possible to have this 
redirect built

into the server?  I am fine if the answer is the former, I just wanted 
to know if it's an issue in how

I'm using relative links, or if I needed to adjust my assumptions on how 
sourcehut pages work.
