[Maf] file:///Disk:/folder browsing bug

[Christopher Ottley]

Hello all,

MAF has functionality to re-write document URLs so that absolute URL 
references from pages can be mapped to local file locations in archives. 
Part of this functionality makes attributes that hold URLs in documents 
absolute so MAF can test them. Unfortunately you cannot disable this by 
unchecking the "Rewrite archive document URLs" check box as this is done 
outside the preference setting. The bug is that if the page has a base 
tag, its href is ignored and the document's original href is used to 
resolve any relative URLs. If the base tag href doesn't match the 
document's original href, then there's a problem. I've fixed these two 
bugs locally and the fixes will be committed to cvs soon.

Thanks for the report,
Christopher.
