"If the item content is a URL, clicking on the item should take the user to that URL."

What should be the format of the URL ??

The URL should be relative or

With "http" ?? eg: http://sun.calstatela.edu/cs520/s12/lecturenote.txt

Right now in my case if the instructor give a URL "/cs520/s12/lecturenote.txt ", the link will be "http://localhost:8080/csns2/sites/spring2012/cs520/section1/cs520/s12/lecturenote.txt".

Do I need to fix this ??
