Added ability to check if missing trailing slash in path.

Previously this URL would not work:

    http://example.com?foo=bar

But this URL would work:

    http://example.com/?foo=bar

Even though a slash is required for a valid URL, it is a common use case
for the slash to be left out, so it would be a good idea to account for this.
