Although I always use a full URL as well, doesn't absolute just mean non-relative? As in: Location: /Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.30 (absolute URI) Location: ./rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.30 (relative URI)
If you need contextual information to make sense of the URI (such as the server name from a previous request) then it's not absolute. RFC 2396: Uniform Resource Identifiers "An absolute identifier refers to a resource independent of the context in which the identifier is used. In contrast, a relative identifier refers to a resource by describing the difference within a hierarchical namespace between the current context and an absolute identifier of the resource." -robin -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
