    I need something back that went away a while ago:

    Instead of
    <ul>
<li><a href="h**p://www.domain.com/">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="/test/">Test</a></li>
</ul>

    I want
    <ul>
<li><a href="h**p://www.domain.com/home/">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="/test/">Test</a></li>
</ul>

    or even better
    <ul>
<li><a href="/home/">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="/test/">Test</a></li>
</ul>


    Any hints or suggestions?

      The site_start Resource will respond via it's assigned alias, but the response will be a 301 permanent redirect to the full site_url. You can create a SymLink (container) with the alias of home if you want to have a menu item with home/, and exclude the site_start from your menus, but this will potentially be considered duplicate content when being indexed by google.

        Thank you. This in combination with
        RewriteRule ^$ /home/ [R=301,L]

        seems to be what I was looking for.
