I think the problem is that you’re serving a collection of Fossils, instead of 
just one.

I don’t use the CGI model, but with “fossil server /path/to/one.fossil” the 
URLs are of the form http://server.ip:port/wcontent.

The difference with the “local” case is that “fossil ui” is only serving a 
single Fossil repo.

So, bottom line, you need to either use relative URLs, or remove this 
confounding difference between the local and CGI cases, serving only one repo 
per Fossil server.

You could still serve multiple Fossil repositories via your web server’s 
name-based virtual hosting feature, so that http://prj1.mycompany.private maps 
to prj1.fossil, and so on for prj2, etc.

That sounds like a CGI-specific behavior.  We use “fossil server /museum” 
(where /museum is where the Fossils live) here, and http://server:port/wcontent 
*does* give a 404.
