Rev CGI scripts

[Andre Garzia]

Sarah,

instead of linking with URLs like

<a href="http://192.168.0.123:8888/folder/file.txt">

why don't you use root relative paths without the server, like:

<a href="/folder/file.txt">

if so, the server part will be assumed to be the same one serving the page.

Cheers
andre
