Comment (by tombarta):

 From the server's standpoint, there is no difference whether or not a web
 page indicated an absolute URI or a relative URI; the subsequent request
 generated by the browser will be the same, unless the browser itself is
 broken.

 If the client had disabled sending the `Referer` header, this may have
 caused a problem.  The server could be configured to disallow `POST`
 requests that don't have a `Referer` originating from itself (referer
 checks are often done to reduce image hotlinking or as a misguided attempt
 to increase security).
