[ZDP] Images on ZDP:8080 use relative paths

[Tom Deprez]

Hi Martijn,

How are you doing? Had a nice rest?

Thanks for pointing this out! I just adjusted this and it is really a
speed-up!

However, I don't understand it very well, why this happens. I believe other
people already explained these things in other ways (I think Rik did in his
drafts), but it looks like I still don't catch the idea...

Can you tell me in another way how this is so important to use /ZDP/images?
Because /ZDP/images is still a relative path, isn't it?

Tom.
