When accessing a folder directly the base tag gets inserted
(tested on a regulare Folder in Zope 2.7.2), but if
you access the methed (for instance index_html) directly
the base tag doesn't get included.

Now if the base tag doesn't get included for folder the
browser will think the folder is a method hand recalculate
the base to point to the parent folder.

This was changed in Zope 2.7.0:
      - Collector #342: Avoiding insertion of a BASE tag for file objects
        with content-type text/html

If this is the reason I don't know. Looking at 
http://zope.org/Collectors/Zope/342 does indicate that #342 is another 
issue?

To me, looking at the code, this doesn't appear to be as simple as 
checking content-type and for file object (how a file object is defined
I don't know?).
There are other factors controlling if the base-tag gets generated.
One case for instance is if the call needs to look-up the "method",
which defaults to index_html (but I think this also applies to methods
defined by the :method/:action suffix).

What to do?
Maybe, you could add a <base> tag manually in your index_html?

Is this a bug? I don't know?

Cheers,
Johan Carlsson
