Re: [FreeTrade] Path problems

[Leif Mortenson]

This brings up a question that I have always had about Freetrade. Is there any reason why Freetrade includes the host name in the urls that it encodes in the pages it generates? If you serve a page which just includes a path to the page, then the browser will automatically prepend the host of the page. It seems like letting the browser handle this would solve some setup problems. When we have done some testing with Freetrade, it has sometimes been desirable to run with the IP address and no host name (http://192.168.0.2/Index.php3) Or even on a different port. (http;//localhost:9000/Index.php3) Both of these cause problems if the host name in Apache's config file does not match. It Freetrade simply served the url minus the host (/Index.php3) Then these should all work. It looks like there has been a lot of work done to resolve and encode the host name in the URLs so I am sure that there is a reason why it is sometimes required, I was just wondering what it is.
