Hi LeanderV,

it does really depend on how your application may load additional ressources (e.g. Pictures, CSS, Scripts) and also links to other sub-pages.

HTML with absolte adressing


    
        
        
    
    
        Link To Home Site
        
        Link To Sub Site

HTML with addressing relational to the website root

HTML with addressing relational to the current folder (lazy way)

HTML with addressing relational to the current folder (nice way)

If your web application uses an addressing relational to the the current folder, it will work without rewriting the responses. You could basically drop the same web application into a web folder of your choice and it would still work.

For web application using a relational to your root web or absolute addressing you have to rewrite the responses.

Cheers, Kai
