inconsistent backslash generation

note:
sorry if this is a repost. i was automatically logged off and not sure if my previous post was recorded. as such, i repost the same post again.

now i finally undertand why you exclude(skipped) files without backslash(/) in the sitemap.

it’s a requirement for a file to end with backslash as stated in the google webmaster guide.

but i found that your system have an incosistency when comes to backslash.

for example, i’ve a file in such format "abc.com/dir/subdir/index.php"

the system should generate this format "abc.com/dir/subdir/" for it to be valid.

but ironically, the system sometimes generate a file without backslash format such as this "abc.com/dir/subdir" and sometimes generate both formats.

it’s very rare for the system to generate correctly i.e. in this format "abc.com/dir/subdir/"

this has cause almost 50% of my files to be treated as skipped files.

yes, i know i can include those skipped files in the system settings but it’ll make those files invalid for xml format anyway in the eyes of google.

perhaps you should allow us to edit the Location to add a backslash at the end of those incorrect files format.

this would be much easier instead of detecting the bugs.

please help.

thank you.
