[albatross-users] Albatross development preview1.2-dev-20040114

[Michael C. Neel]

The URL issue was not in relation to redirect_url, but the processing of
the al-a and similar tags which were building links with the protocol
and servername.  This isn't needed in al-a, since a prefix of '/' will
do nicely and not care about protocol, servername, port, etc.
