  When the client side makes a GET request for an image url src it is passed a different url then the one in the <img> tag.

  Ex.
  <img src=”www.somewebsite.com/web-content/uploads/date/filename”>

  throws error -> GET http://www.somewebsite.com/currentpage/filename 404 (not found)

  Why does it change the url from the one that is in the <img> tag? and how can I get around this. Also why the hell does the server do that? Should that not have been tested before a server update and realized that it would break many sites?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
