Depending on how the page is generated, the trailing slash might be added
automatically.

No, it doesn't.

In an URL there are no such things as a directory structure. Just think of
it as a coincidence that in some cases the path of a URL is mapped on a
directory structure.

Depends on how your software is configured. If you use a program to build
pages for webserver requests
http://example.com/foo/bar
might work
If you make a foo directory with bar sub directory, with in bar index.html
http://example.com/foo/bar
Is redirected to
http://example.com/foo/bar/
and the webserver returns index.html.
