The way you do or don't tear apart the original URL to get user and
login, as well as the URL you send out will affect this.
If your URL starts with "/" then it is an "absolute" URL, and the
browser won't put the current "directory" (from its perspective) in
front of it.
It's also possible you just tore the URL apart wrong, and aren't
sending out what you think you are sending... Use "View Source" in
your browser to see what you sent.
