BorderManager 3.0 / ignored <base> ref

Chris Sharman

I'm seeing quite a few 404 errors, all from an agent/browser which calls
itself "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; BorderManager 3.0)".

They appear to be from a built page like
http://services.ccagroup.co.uk/upbin...whsmithwedding
(no referrer supplied, so I can't be certain), which contains
<base href="http://www.ccagroup.co .uk/whsmithwedding/">
in the head, and references to several images eg "media/pg03/bgrnd.gif"
in the body.
This agent, and only this agent, tries to get
http://services.ccagroup.co.uk/upbin...pg03/bgrnd.gif
rather than http://www.ccagroup.co.uk/whsmithwed...pg03/bgrnd.gif

Anyone else seen this ?
Anyone know a workaround I can put on the page ?
Or failing that, how the offending clients should amend their
configuration to behave correctly ?

Thanks,
Chris

BorderManager is a Novell product, it seems to be on version 3.8
<url:http://www.novell.com/products/bordermanager/>

I doubt there's anything you can do at your end other than using
absolute URLs, so see if Novell have anything to say on the matter.

<base> tag and PostBack

Hi, I have a problem with the HTML <base> element, URL re-writing and Postback.

Otherwise, we have to manually output the application root eg. src="<%= AppRoot %>". This is cumbersome and hard to maintain. ...
