1 It looks like all links in websites are absolute paths, this has some limitations:
3 * If connecting to website via https://... all links will take you back to http://
4 * Makes it harder to mirror website via HTML version, as all links have to be updated.
6 It would be good if relative paths could be used instead, so the transport method isn't changed unless specifically requested.

15 >> The problem is within the CGI script. The links within the HTML page are all absolute, including links to the css file.
16 >> Having a http links within a HTML page retrieved using https upset most browsers (I think). Also if I push cancel on the edit page in https, I end up at at http page. -- Brian May
