No they won't - the browser will strip the URL seen from its perspective
back to the host and add the path. On the scheme Jona describes, where the
host the browser sees is 'gateway_server', that would then be retranslated
by the proxy into a request for the document 'myfile.html' on the intranet
host 'path' - the correct intranet host would be lost.

Relative links like that will work correctly without any changes
because the browser supplies the current protocol/path from
its perspective. Absolute links that start with a / or
http: will be broken, though.
