[thelist] fqdn v. absolute or relative path

[rudy]

conventional terminology, to the best of my knowledge, is:

absolute:
http://servername/directories/if/necessary/page.htm

root relative:
/directories/if/necessary/page.htm

relative:
../if/necessary/page.htm

of these, the first is by far the wrong way to code links to pages within
the same site

the second is better than the third, but in the example you gave, where an
entire site is "moving up" two levels, the second will require search &
replace while the third shouldn't

as for effect on the logs, i'm pretty sure there is none at all, as the logs
record the urls requested by the browser, which are always stated in
absolute terms
