[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] openURL:[NSURL

trailing slash needed. Is there some reason to use it?
For anything but the top level, yes.
If you write
http://www.example.com/directory
The server will typically notice that directory is a directory, and
send the client a redirect to
http://www.example.com/directory/, then
the client does a re-request, and gets the correct resource. You can
avoid the extra round trip by specifying the correct URL in the first
place.
For the top level this is not necessary since in HTTP you cannot get
an empty string, so the client has to send a request for / when it is
omitted from the URL.
