 `misctemplate` needs to *always* set an absolute baseurl. Which is a problem,
 since `misctemplate` is not currently passed a cgi object from which to
 construct one. --[[Joey]]
+
+Update: Worse and worse. `baseurl(undef)` can be a relative url, but
+nearly every use of it I can find actually needs to be absolute. 
+the numerous `redirect($q, baseurl(undef))` all need to be absolute
+according to `CGI` documentation.
+
+So, I'm seriously thinking about reverting the part of
+[[todo/want_to_avoid_ikiwiki_using_http_or_https_in_urls_to_allow_serving_both]]
+that made `baseurl(undef)` relative. 
+And I suppose, re-opening that todo. :( --[[Joey]]
