How to prevent Kupu from converting URLs...

by T. Kim Nguyen last modified May 16, 2009 01:39 PM

Kupu tries to convert absolute URLs into relative ones, but may get it wrong

As I understand it, this "feature" in Kupu is there to help prevent IE from screwing itself up.  Unfortunately, this feature messes up non-IE browsers.  

If your site is at the URL http://www.uwosh.edu/blabla and you put in a link, via Kupu, to something like http://www.uwosh.edu/blabla/bleeblee, it will change the absolute URL you specified into something like "../bleeblee".  In some cases, that will work correctly, but in others Kupu has messed up the relative URL so that it ends up pointing to a nonexistent page.

To prevent Kupu from trying to do this, instead specify the URL as http://uwosh.edu:80/blabla/bleeblee.
