Summary:  [enhancement] why not use relative refs in HTML output? 

Original Submission:  Hello, thanks for your great work!

Using relative refs in the generated HTML would enhance the possibilities to 
embed the mldonkey web interface into a larger apache setup.

If relative refs were used, a single apache ProxyPass directive would be 
sufficient to access the mldonkey web interface. As it is, the start frame 
contains requests to path-absolute URLs like e.g. /commands.html, so the 
following HTTP requests all need separate rewrite rules on their own.

And because the web browser assembles complete, absolute paths for the HTTP 
requests anyway from any relative path it sees in HTML, you wouldn't even have 
to change the HTTP request parsing code. Just drop the leading slashes from the 
output ;-)
