I'm trying out relative links in the index.html files. For the next few days expect that some jobs will complete with the old absolute urls and I'll have to fix them by hand. New jobs should "just work". I've converted most of the older index pages for the last five dumps from each project. Let me know if there are any problems. I'm hoping that nobody has scripts that rely on having the full url in there.
This change was needed for mirror sites to function properly. At some point it will be helpful for https access as well.
