When returning to a page via the 'back' button an image which was displayed on
the initial visit reverts to being rendered as only its alt text.							

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://simoria.com/
2. wait for the "simoriah" logo to load and then click on it.
3. wait for the images on http://simoria.com/tombo/simoriah_hp.html to load
4. click on the 'back' button							

Actual Results:  The ALT= text for the img tag is displayed.							

Expected Results:  The img should have been displayed just like it was the first time.

The problem occurs in the html:
<snippet>
<A HREF="/tombo/simoriah_hp.html">
<IMG SRC="/tombo/simoriah.gif" BORDER=0 ALT="simoriah1"></A>
<A HREF="/tombo/simoriah_hp.html">
<IMG SRC="/tombo/c_stigma.gif" BORDER=0 ALT="simoriah2"></A>
</snippet>

In 4.x, "/dirname/filename.gif" is resolved to "./dirname/filename.gif".
In 6.x, its not. It resolves to "/dirname/filename.gif" with "/dirname"
as a top level directory.

Once I figure out who handles resolving filenames, I'll reassign.

Doug:
I see your name on the logs for the URI loader.
Do you know who should get this?

Comment 6

[Doug Turner (:dougt)]

sounds like session history?

Comment 7

[pnunn]

sounds more like URL resolving to me....but I'm
not a history person.

I tried this in a recent build. I can't reproduce the problem. Though the 
problem may show up in a back operation, SH does no url resolving or image 
realted stuff. Reassigning to networking.

this works fine for me now. I guess possibly fixed with some recent changes.
