From: hanasaki [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: how are relative pages/images retrieved?

the page
        http://localhost/a/b/c
has an href to
        ../images/image1.gif

how is it that the websever knows to convert this into
        http://localhost/a/b/images.gif

I believe that it's the client (browser) that forms an absolute URL
based on that of the current page.  The client must request each href
independently from the server, although HTTP 1.1 allows them to be
batched together.

It's definitely the client's job to request every resource using absolute path. This must be written in some RFC if you're interested.
