HI, has anyone encounter the following problem:
I run netscape as the client browser talking to an apache web server.
In between them there is a proxy server sitting on the client
machine. The proxy serve simply do tunneling now.
I request the first url, e.g. http://www.cs.ualbert.ca/~wendy, which
is my home dir in my research acct.
Then I request a link on the page, which in the html page is simply
pointing to a file in a subdirectory, e.g. <a href="subdir/hello.html">
The request header received upon the second request is not what I read
from the http 1.1 spec....
Received:
GET http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/subdir/hello.html HTTP/1.1
Instead of what I expected to be
GET http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/~wendy/subdir/hello.html HTTP/1.1
(recall full path if thru proxy)
Does anyone know why ? This happens every so often. Is this an apache
server or netscape browser bug ???
Thanks in advance for any responses....
Wendy
