Absolute vs. Relative paths in HTML <head>

⇧

⇩

52 views

I serve content from a subdirectory on my web server, for example:

http://www.myserver.com/subtree

I notice that the CSS is not rendering correctly, so I look at the source of the HTML file:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="static/stylesheets/style.css"/>

One would expect that browsers such as Chrome or Firefox attempt to find this css at

http://www.myserver.com/subtree/static/stylesheets/style.css

When hovering over the link, I can see that it links me to

http://www.myserver.com/static/stylesheets/style.css

It may be useful to note that I'm using apache's mod_proxy to serve the content from /subtree from another server running on the local machine. However, my reasoning is that the browser doesn't know about this and it looks like the content is coming from myserver.com/subtree so therefore it should look for the resources using the relative path.

What am I missing?
