Relative URLs, or Absolute URLs?

And i faced another problem by using absolute url is with flash and ajax.
and ajax request with www and non www.
if you have set baseurl as http://sitename.com and if you are accessing scripts using ajax then you might face this problem

consider that the users is accessing the page using http://sitename.com and in your config you have did it like baseurl = 'http://sitename.com . then there wont be a problem because there is no www in the browser url and also in the ajax request...

but if users try to access the page as http://www.sitename.com then the absolute url for ajax will not work and it will throw Permission Denied error because the actual url is http://www.sitename and the now ajax url is http://site which are different and hence an error is thrown.

the same error will throw up for flash or other controls i hope.
so even in flash if you are displaying images using dynamically generated xml then you should access the url as relative and not absolute... so /folder/xmloutput.php would be appropriate...
