4352	Ommiting the traling slash for a custom skin or plugin path results into unwanted behavior	Niek Kouwenberg		"I created a custom skin and plugin for the CKEditor. I placed these in a different directory as the CKEditor itself, and therefore I should add the path to the skin and plugin, like so:

{{{
// Adding the skin
CKEDITOR.config.skin = 'myskin,/js/myskin/';

// Adding the plugin path
CKEDITOR.plugins.addExternal('myplugin', '/js/myplugin/');
}}}

The code above works as expected, but when I omit either trailing slash weird things happen.

Looking at the HTTP requests, I can see CKEditor first tries to use the path as specified, and if no skin/plugin is found there, it tries the path with a trailing slash appended. I would expect the following HTTP requests:

{{{
/js/skins/myskinskin.js
/js/skins/myskin/skin.js

/js/plugins/mypluginplugin.js
/js/plugins/myplugin/plugin.js
}}}

This should work fine, the skin and plugin should be found. But then the tricky bit comes into sight; the timestamp request parameter.

All requested URLs get the ?t=97KD parameter appended, to prevent caching. If this would work correct, the HTTP request would look like this:

{{{
/js/skins/myskinskin.js?t=97KD
/js/skins/myskin/skin.js?t=97KD

/js/plugins/mypluginplugin.js?t=97KD
/js/plugins/myplugin/plugin.js?t=97KD
}}}

However, the timestamp will not be appended to the full URL to the Javascript files, but to the path:

{{{
/js/skins/myskin?t=97KDskin.js
/js/skins/myskin/?t=97KDskin.js
}}}

For plugins it even gets appended twice, once to the path and once to the filename:

{{{
/js/plugins/myplugin?t=97KDplugin.js&t=97KD
/js/plugins/myplugin/?t=97KDplugin.js&t=97KD
}}}

----

In addition to the problem above, the skin never seems to get the proper timestamp parameter when using a path with a trailing slash (whereas the plugin does):

{{{
/js/skins/myskin/skin.js
/js/plugins/myplugin/plugin.js?t=97KD
}}}
