Description

Hello,

As the Vite and Esbuild are out of the developer preview, I tried to use it for my company projects.
It works well except that for each of our apps we had a specific behaviour that we didn't notice before using Vite.

All our app are using a baseHref like this:
"baseHref": "/myapp/"

But all links to our apps are like this:
http://mydomain.com/myapp

What's happening without Vite and EsBuild is that the trailing "/" was automatically added (don't know by who exactly), and by using Vite and Esbuild, it's not added automatically anymore we are getting an error page:

The server is configured with a public base URL of /myapp/ - did you mean to visit /myapp/ instead?

Did you know about this behaviour (didn't find any issue about it) ?
Do you plan to fix it or are you considering that it is now a standard behaviour ?
Thanks for your answer !
