Yes, I know this has been discussed here before, but the archives have rolled over and the thread is gone :-(

Why does the url grow ( something like a/b/a/b/a/b/a//b/a/b )? and what can be done to prevent it?

Avoid non-trivial relative URL references. A trivial URL reference is one not containing a "/". They are harmless. A relative URL reference containing a "/" is non-trivial unless the path segment before each "/" is either "." or "..". Non-trivial URL references can cause growing URLs. Do not use them. Dieter
