Right - my javascript routine is bogus (added on the TODO

> Issue with /../ URLs.  Imagine the 

Fortunately, this issue does only concern external pages - 
if you mirror from <http://www.foo.com/bar/index.html> these 
three links:

<a href="../upper.html"> UPPER </a><br>
<a href="../../upper.html"> UPPER </a><br>
<a href="../../../upper.html"> UPPER </a><br>
<a href="../../../../upper.html"> UPPER </a><br>

You'll get identical ones:

<a href="../upper.html"> UPPER </a><br>
<a href="../upper.html"> UPPER </a><br>
<a href="../upper.html"> UPPER </a><br>
<a href="../upper.html"> UPPER </a><br>

As the engine is doing several security checks for ../ 

... except when forming the external.html thing.
