Thanks for the reply. Some more info:

When the BASE HREF is not generated the links are still relative. Maybe
it's the links rather than the missing BASE HREF tag that's the cause of
the problem?

But the behaviour seems to be different at times even for the same url.

For FTP traffic, it is [client - squid - ftp proxy - internet]

In all cases I've come across it has been under a subdirectory.
