404.html erroneously treated as == .Site.BaseURL?

If I set the configuration for my BaseURL to http://www.mysite.com/ with an ending slash, everything “works” – but going from 404 to the homepage results in sending users to Website Hosting - Mysite.com (note the additional trailing slash).

Well, this is not a solution per say, but one workaround that pops right out my head is string concatenation .

Something like:

{{ $trailingSlash := "/" }}
{{ $newBaseURL := $trailingSlash | printf "%s%s" $Site.BaseURL }}

and use the {{ $newBaseURL }} instead? Yeah, its a duct-tape approach. But duct-tapes are easy to work with!

I am very new to HUGO too, so my solution may not be the most reliable
