how are relative pages/images retrieved?

[hanasaki <ha...@hanaden.com>]

How are relative resources found?

ex:
the page
	http://localhost/a/b/c
has an href to
	../images/image1.gif

how is it that the websever knows to convert this into
	http://localhost/a/b/images.gif

????


This seems to imply some sort of state in the server but this cannot be
the case because it works in apache, tomcat and all webservers even if
noone is logged in and thus has a session that could keep track of the
last page served.

thanks
