SimpleHTTPRequestHandler incorrectly handles trailing escaped slash #134098
Description
Bug report
For path to directory which does not end with slash ("/"), SimpleHTTPRequestHandler returns status MOVED_PERMANENTLY with redirection to new path that ends with slash. Slashes can be percent-encoded, although this is not necessary. But the code that checks for the trailing slash does not take this into account (in two place).

Other effect of this bug -- a percent-encoded trailing slash is ignored after non-directory path (should return status NOT_FOUND).

since you mentioned request handling, what do you think about making http.server accept "absolute form" as "request target"?
