keep in mind that we can only detect relative urls on our OWN 
infrastructure and also that 99% of the website traffic is on 
www.postgresql.org with ourely static (mirrored) content, no PHP (or 
whatever) support and are only partly under our control.
only wwwmaster is dynamic but only a fraction of traffic ends up there.
