That's completely up to the server.
If you are not the webmaster or author of the page, you don't need to
know. If you do happen to know that two URLs always give the same
content, and maintain pages with links to the content, then you should
pick one form and stick with it, preferably the form that's also
preferred by the webmaster(s)/author(s).

I assume your shell provides filename completion. I doubt that it
claims to provide URL completion, so this is a different topic.
Filenames are not URLs. URLs are not filenames.
If you don't like the way it provides filename completion, you may be
able to configure it differently.
