The Redfish spec (DSP0266, section "Service Root Request") specifies the 
service root as /redfish/v1.
It also specifies the (in the "Protocol version" section) what GET 
/redfish should return.
It does not specify what "/" should return.
To see supported URIs, see 
https://github.com/openbmc/bmcweb/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt

I understand GET requests for URI "/" to return the web app, if 
BMCWEB_ENABLE_STATIC_HOSTING is enabled and the web app is present. See 
https://github.com/openbmc/bmcweb/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt#L49
and https://github.com/openbmc/phosphor-webui
