It looks like all links in websites are absolute paths, this has some limitations:
|
|
|
|
* If connecting to website via https://... all links will take you back to http://
|
|
* Makes it harder to mirror website via HTML version, as all links have to be updated.
|
|
|
|
It would be good if relative paths could be used instead, so the transport method isn't changed unless specifically requested.

> Er, which absolute links are you talking about? If you view the source

|
> "../../", and "../". The only absolute links are to CGIs and the w3c DTD.

>> The problem is within the CGI script. The links within the HTML page are all absolute, including links to the css file.
|
|
>> Having a http links within a HTML page retrieved using https upset most browsers (I think). Also if I push cancel on the edit page in https, I end up at at http page. -- Brian May
