Problem conclusion

• This section was added to the 4.1-WSL-FP06.README:
  
  6.3 Documentation update for configurabel fix_absolute_urls
      parameter (IY44216)
  
  The WTESEAL-cookie can be disabled or enabled through
  osdef.conf Here is the example stanza you can add it in
  osdef.conf
  
  # Parameter:    fix_absolute_urls
  #
  # If the file returned by the junctioned Web server does not
  # use relative URLs links when referring to objects on the
  # same server, the browser will be misdirected when trying
  # access another object on the same server.  This option
  # tells WTESeal to replace all  '/<dir>' paths with
  # '/<junction_dir>/<dir>' on subsequent browser requests.
  # Possible values for this option are  'use_referrer',
  # 'use_cookie', or  'no'.  The default value is
  # 'use_referrer'.
  #
  # Default:
  # Example:      fix_absolute_urls = use_referrer
