Hi Mark,

IIS 7 doesn't change the way that links are referred. In fact that's not one of a server's tasks, but it's the browser that needs to fix up the URL and send it to the server as a complete URL. Browser reads the HTML and HTML Link and fixes up any relative paths into full path urls that the server responds to - a Web server has no notion of last request and therefore no idea about relative paths - it only responds to full URL endpoint requests.

So I'm not sure I understand what problem you have here. Maybe you need to be more specific and show an example of what doesn't work.

I just started the process to move my web product to 2008 server and I am running into a problem. I like to share this with you and hopefully to resolve this issue.

There seem to be a problem in IIS 7 that I cannot change via configuration
(at least not that I could find anywhere).

The problem seems to be that IIS 7 does not allow relative pathing in web pages - they must all be absolute paths or all files must exist in the main directory with no subdirectories. This require a program change and I believe that we can avoid.

I would appreciate any help you can give us to solve this problem.

Thanks,
Mark
