Well, that is what it should be.

Perhaps if you posted some of the page source....

On my checkout page, my images are raw HTML'ed like this:
<img src="/logo_l.gif" LOWSRC="/0.gif" HEIGHT=110 WIDTH=348 ALT="Gary
Yamamoto Custom Baits">
MY parsed HTML (view source) from the secure checkout page appears like this:
<img src="/logo_l.gif" LOWSRC="/0.gif" HEIGHT=110 WIDTH=348 ALT="Gary
Yamamoto Custom Baits">
This is portable, ALWAYS looks in the HTML root of which ever
server/domain it is currently on. (Equiv to
https://www.whereIamcurrentlyat.com/logo_l.gif -- this technique is valid
HTML1.0)
Besides, if you DID get the config right, working, whatever, you would be
wasting bytes by specifying
https://www.yourminivendsite.com/sample/images/whatever... and we all know
that bytes are expensive.
I understand that if your images were somewhere other than where your
secure page was located you may wish to 'fix' it to point somewhere else.
You could even use <img src="/sample/images/logo_l.gif"> ... wherever you
wish to place your images.
