Sorry for my explaination, 
in my project (imgsvr), I use AWS for publishing pictures, the imgsvr generate 
on the fly thumbnails and pages for browsing pictures.
So I don't use the Directory_Service option of AWS.

My problem is when a dynamically generated page contain an anchor coded as a 
relative URL , the browser don't see or remember the current "Web Directory" 
where the page is.

So when i click on the anchor, the browser search for the root to find the 
image .. ??
I had to move to absolute URL to make it work .. 

eg the following tag in a dynamic page from 
http://localhost:1234/2001-05-08_Reunion_de_Famille/Apres_fete_chez_frangin_08052001

<br>
<a href="..">Repertoire precedent</a>
<br>
<hr>

appear in the browser status line as http://localhost:1234 whereas it should 
be http://localhost:1234/2001-05-08_Reunion_de_Famille or 
http://localhost:1234/2001-05-08_Reunion_de_Famille/..
