crap. yet another problem with OSM, although minor: nginx-specific...

+This is not a problem on Apache webservers because they, oddly enough, ignore trailing slashes on paths (maybe some `PATH_INFO` magic, no idea). But basically, in our wiki, the paths to the icon tags are generated with a trailing slash. An excerpt of our [KML file](http://wiki.reseaulibre.ca/map/pois.kml):
+
+    <Style id="/tag/up">
+    <IconStyle>
+    <Icon>
+    <href>http://wiki.reseaulibre.ca//tag/up/icon.png/</href>
+    </Icon>
+    </IconStyle>
+    </Style>
+
+Notice the trailing `/` after the `icon.png`. This breaks display on nginx - the file that gets served isn't the icon, but the frontpage for some reason. I followed the [[setup instructions|tips/dot cgi]] for Nginx that I just had to write because there weren't any, so maybe I screwed up some part, but it does seem to me that the trailing slash is wrong regardless.

+(Also notice how the style tag is being turned over backwards by the HTML sanitizer here, cute. :P)
+
+I wrote a crude hack for this, but this strikes me as a similar problem to the one we found in [[bugs/osm linkto() usage breaks map rendering]]. However, I am at a loss how to fix this cleanly because we cannot `will_render()` the tag icons, as they are already generated out there! Weird. Anyways, here's the stupid [[patch]]:

+I'm not writing this to a branch out of sheer shame of my misunderstanding. ;) There also may be a workaround that could be done in Nginx too. --[[anarcat]]
