Fixes all those issues with relative URLs. Now all we need is for the default web server to support IIS7 redirects and debugging will be much quicker. Great post.

However there is a small problem with the subdomain processing. When you debug based on a subdomain (e.g. http://people.localhost) then the Request.URL is actually for http://localhost so all it is doing is 'faking' from the subdomain to the domain. Not a problem if you are doing something simple but this played absolute havoc on the site I am developing until I realised that all the subdomain requests I was making were actually being fielded by the domain itself.

This saves significant time instead of fooling around with relative urls! Brilliant, thanks. This saves significant time instead of fooling around with relative urls!
