[CLUE-Tech] Strange URLs in a ColdFusion Site

[Angelo Bertolli]

I'm sure you already know this but the HTTP headers for a referring page 
aren't considered to be reliable.  So your assumptions are correct.  The 
browser translates the code, and determines the new request to send.

>But in dealing with relative URLs in a page, the browser constructs the
>absolute URL using the existing page address, and the supplied URL. So how
>does it determine where to cut the existing page address, and append the
>string supplied in a relative URL? Until I saw these constructs, I'd have

>behavior I observe from the Gecko engine (I assume, as both Galeon and
>Mozilla do this) when visiting the SSRN site.
