Should you automatically resolve URLs with extra trailing slashes added by accident?

[McTaggart]

Hi - I was just wondering whether a URL with extra trailing slashes should actuall redirect to the version without the extra trailing slashes... e.g. www.domainname.com/folder////// should automatically resolve to www.domainname.com/folder/ - what is your opinion on this?

Well yeah sure...but why not fix it in the first place? Too many redirects are not a good idea
