Stipe,
The Base element in HTML specifies an absolute URI that acts as the base URI
for resolving relative URIs.
For example, given the following BASE declaration and A declaration:
+ADwAIQ-DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC +ACI--//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN+ACI-
+ACI-http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd+ACIAPg-
+ADw-HTML+AD4-
+ADw-HEAD+AD4-
+ADw-TITLE+AD4-Our Products+ADw-/TITLE+AD4-
+ADw-BASE href+AD0AIg-http://www.aviary.com/products/intro.html+ACIAPg-
+ADw-/HEAD+AD4-
+ADw-BODY+AD4-
+ADw-P+AD4-Have you seen our +ADw-A href+AD0AIg-../cages/birds.gif+ACIAPg-Bird
Cages+ADw-/A+AD4-?
+ADw-/BODY+AD4-
+ADw-/HTML+AD4-
the relative URI +ACI-../cages/birds.gif+ACI- would resolve to:
http://www.aviary.com/cages/birds.gif
I'm sure you may be clear about the problem in proxy redirection. If no base
element existing, problem will happen.

+AD4- nop, the point is different.

+AD4- Kannel wapbox does the Location following (hence redirection)

+AD4- WAP deck would result to address resources that are ment to be on a
+AD4- previously redirected URL. And there is where we +ACI-may+ACI- run into
