HTTP redirect

Stipe,

The Base element in HTML specifies an absolute URI that acts as the base URI
for resolving relative URIs.
For example, given the following BASE declaration and A declaration:

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <TITLE>Our Products</TITLE>
    <BASE href="http://www.aviary.com/products/intro.html">
    </HEAD>
    <BODY>
    <P>Have you seen our <A href="../cages/birds.gif">Bird Cages</A>?
    </BODY>
    </HTML>

    the relative URI "../cages/birds.gif" would resolve to:
    http://www.aviary.com/cages/birds.gif

I'm sure you may be clear about the problem in proxy redirection. If no base
element existing, problem will happen.

Best Regards,
Guanghua Hou
