If you print out the following inside the HTML <HEAD>-tag, this shoud no longer be a
problem:
<BASE HREF="thehtmldirectory">

This is normal behaviour. The only workaround I know for this, is to send the originating
form to some other page, say htmldirectory/confirmation.html, and then use a scriptalias
in the httpd.conf file to redirect it to your rebol-script.
