>Description:
Giving such URLs to apache forces it to change the current directory somehow
and the relative path to 'images' directory becomes wrong and that's why error
log becomes full of 404 errors...

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/programs//httpd.html - without logo
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/programs/httpd.html - with logo

http://www.solcraft.lv/produkti/index.html - with images

>Fix:
use paths relative to URL given in <base> tag,
but this needs to change all HTML files and CGI scripts we have :(
