It seems that there is a problem with relative links within w3 and I wanted to know if anyone else has seen this and possibly has a solution. I'm running - Linux Debian Sid (Testing) Emacs 21.4 w3-el-e21 (version 4.0pre.2001.10.27-16) w3-url-e21 (version 2001.11.08-7) When I try to follow a link in a page, it seems w3 is parsing the information icnorrectly. For example, if I'm at the page http://www.some.host/dir/index.html and that page has a url of the form next link, tabbing to that link and hitting enter causes w3 to try and retrieve the url http://www.some.host/about/index.html when it should be trying to retrieve http://www.some.host/dir/about/index.html. It seems that instead of forming the relative link so that it is relative to the current page, it forms one which is relative to the document root of the remote server. Has anyone (especially anyone using Debian) seen this problem? If so, does anyone have a fix? If not, I'll try to track it down further.
