"curl -I https://git.centos.org/rpc?req=LIST_REPOSITORIES" still 
produces a 404 for me right now, while the version with the slash works. 
  Anyway, the 404 page contains a "Powered by Jetty" banner, so it 
probably doesn't matter what Tomcat would do.  I thought Jetty would add 
a trailing slash by default - apparently not...
