FYI, here's the reason for it as I understand it. Images on https pages need to be delivered via https to prevent some browsers complaining about insecure images. Images on larger sites often come from a different set of servers than those that deliver the HTML. The "//host/dir/file" URL format allows both of the above constraints to be satisfied with the same HTML page. > > >>src/ChangeLog entry: >> >>2002-01-07 Ian Abbott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> >> * url.c (uri_merge_1): Deal with "net path" relative URL (one that >> starts with "//"). >> > [...] > > Thanks for the patch; I've now applied it (with minor changes in > examples and comments.) ______________________________________________________________________ Maurice Cinquini Senior Software Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Speedera Networks Work (408) 970 1500 4800 Great America Pwky, Suite 220 Fax (408) 855 9543 Santa Clara, CA 95054-1227 USA ______________________________________________________________________ This message is for the named person(s) use only.
