[ZendTo] Re: Using zendto behind apache proxy

[Joerg Streibhardt]

Hi Jules,

you're correct, it is not exactly standards compliant. However, every
browser I've tried it with assumed the current URL to be the
replacement for the mission action which works as expected.
The compliant way would be to set action="." which would mean the
current directory (instead of "/" for top level directory) and
therefore index.php. This is what I used for the home link.

Cheers
Jörg
