Comment:

 It would be fairly easy for the web UI to use relative URLs in the HTML it
 generates. The relevant code seems to be the
 [source:src/allmydata/web/common.py at 4979#L35 get_root function in
 web/common.py]. (It is used by
 [source:src/allmydata/web/directory.py at 4527#549 DirectoryAsHTML in
 web/directory.py], and in operations.py and info.py; all these uses would
 need to be checked.)

 Note that we may in future want to use different ports for generated pages
 and for user files, in order to address WUI same-origin security bugs such
 as #615. That would make using fully relative URLs more difficult, but
 let's cross that bridge when we come to it.
