Description

As summary.

ChuckDeal's take on it is this:

When tracing through the WicketFilter code, it looks like isWicketRequest() can't deal with it so it delegates to webApplication.getRequestCycleProcessor().getRequestCodingStrategy().urlCodingStrategyForPath(path) which returns null because it specifically excludes the '/'. You can't mount '/' because mount(...) will throw IllegalArgumentException("The mount
path '/' is reserved for the application home page"). Is this a loophole, or have I missed something.
