I use an approach I call "dynamic absolute" where the application dynamically detects its location in the file system and defines that as a constant for the rest of the application to use, then determines the proper http/https url, defining that as a constant as well. Then throughout the application, I use the constants, rather than literally typed url. The end result is absolute urls. If you didn't have any part in building the application, I apologize. I consider problems with urls to be a "code smell", specifically "Excessive use of literals" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_smell). Usually, where there is one code smell likely to be many more. So watch out and good luck! --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
