Details

A code such as the following, loaded from http://some.domain.com/someurl

<html><head>
	<title>blah blah</title>
	<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=./here">
</head><body ...>
</body></html>

Fails to correctly redirect the browser to http://some.domain.com/someurl/here,
but rather redirects it to http://some.domain.com/here

The code was executed in the M9 release (1999082414), running on Linux 2.2.1, the
connection was to an Apache 1.3.3 HTTP server running on RedHat.

AFAIK, this bug does not apply to any of the currently available Navigator or
Exploder versions.

redirects) are yours. Please correct me if I'm mistaken.

Sounds like a URL parsing problem. -> Gagan (or Andreas)
This is the same problem as in bug 10647, where I described how a possible
solution could be done

Yes we need to update the location bar with a trailing slash for directory
cases. Marking duplicate of 10647.
