Re: LYNX-DEV Question about BASE implementation

[Benjamin C. W. Sittler]

Although the standards documents may disagree, here's how my ideal browser
would use BASE:

(Assume URL http://foo/bar/baz.html and BASE http://arf/index.html)

HREF                    Refers to
#chaptertwo             http://foo/bar/baz.html#chaptertwo
index.html#mysec        http://arf/index.html#mysec
?parm                   http://arf/index.html?parm

BAsically, fragment identifiers can be followed without reloading, but
using the name of the BASE's basename forces a change to the BASE doc.
Script parameters would always append to the BASE URL.
