The browser should matter (we have seen this on netscape, lynx and explorer). It is important to include the trailing slash.
What we observe is that there is no such directory called "index.html", and hence the server should return a NOT FOUND error. Instead, it returns the contents of the _file_ with the trailing slash removed. That of course confuses any reletive references in the HTML returned. >How-To-Repeat: See description. >Fix: Not at this time. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, you need] [to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line and make sure the] [subject line starts with the report component and number, with ] [or without any 'Re:' prefixes (such as "general/1098:" or ] ["Re: general/1098:").
