[Zope] Session transferring problem

[Chris McDonough]

Hi Lubos,

I unfortunately can't replicate this behavior.

As long as you've got the "automatically encode Zope-generated URLs with
a browser id" parameter checked off in your browser id manager, and as
long as you don't provide *absolute* urls in your links, the URLs
rendered by the browser should indeed include the URL fragments which
identify the session.

OTOH, if you are providing absolute links in the content (links
beginning with a '/' or links that include a protocol like "http://" in
them), the browser will not take into account the base url of the page
and the link will be rendered as written.

Eg:

<a href="testlink">testlink</a>

becomes a link to:

http://localhost:8080/_ZopeId/30629499A0xKIYXTE4A/testlink

<a href="/testlink">absolute testlink</a>

becomes a link to:

http://localhost:8080/testlink

<a href="http://testlink">absolute testlink with protocol</a>

becomes a link to:

http://testlink

If you see something different, please let me know.
