Make redirection from <site-name> to <site-name>/ more intelligent
------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: DSY-570
         URL: http://issues.cocoondev.org//browse/DSY-570
     Project: Daisy
        Type: Improvement
  Components: Frontend (wiki)  
 Reporter: Bruno Dumon
    Priority: Minor
     Fix For: 2.2


Currently the sitemap.xmap contains the following redirect:

     <map:match pattern="*">
       <map:redirect-to uri="{1}/"/>
     </map:match>

Its purpose is that if one enters the sitename without trailing slash, one is still redirected to the site. However, it has the important disadvantage that if one requests a non-existing top-level resource, one will get the confusing message "There is no site called '....'".

We could make the redirect more intelligent by first checking with the site manager if there is a site with such name. In that case, it could also redirect immediately to the site home page, which saves an additional redirect.

This issue was brought up in this thread:
http://lists.cocoondev.org/pipermail/daisy/2007-October/007730.html

about the favicon.ico, so might make sense to add a favicon.ico? Maybe some others like robots.txt?
