You could use an ugly workaround. Check CGI.SERVER_NAME or CGI.HTTP_HOST; if
it's not the complete string, do a redirect to the full URL. I haven't tried
it, but it should work.
As for the cause of the problem, I don't think it's that the server doesn't
recognize that the short hostname is part of the domain, but rather that the
browser doesn't recognize that the server is within the same domain when
forming the HTTP request.
