[Phpwebsite-developers] Too many connections!

[Richard S. <ri...@ri...>]

I was just about to set up a site that has about 10 images for the 
theme but had to reconsider my thoughts when I noticed that not all the 
images showed up and the CSS didn't load either. I tripple checked all 
the references to the images and css files and they all where correct. 
I then remember reading about if you have a absolute reference to an 
image such as http://www.mysite.com/image.jpg then that will open up 
another socket connection to the site requesting the image rather than 
if you had all the images relative such as ./image.jpg then it will 
just use the one connection already open and request all the images. I 
then tried this by changing all the images from 
{THEME_DIRECTORY}images/something.jpg to 
./themes/MyTheme/images/something.jpg which was extremely long to type 
(even though I just did a find and replace ;-) ) and refreshed the page 
and walla, everything worked perfectly. So anyways, my question to you 
guys, is this going to be handled anytime soon so developers wont have 
to do this each time for sites that have a few more image references 
than others?
