Is this true even if the server returned "leftmenu_plan.html" and the current
url requested to be opned is "http://securityportal.com/leftmen.cgi" ?? 

I know exactly where the problem comes from. In the HTTP slave,
kdebase/kioslave/http.cpp, the code simply stores the current URL it is asked to
open and resolves any relative URL's based on it.  Thus, the problem.  I just
do not see how this can be fixed since the problem to me seems to be the site's.
