Working on a website where dozens of links have been hardcoded. This is causing a problem because someone logged onto marty.com may inadvertently click a link for www.marty.com, or vice versa, and gets an access denied message.

Now my first question is, is this normal Drupal behavior, or is there a place for me to specify something presumably with how cookies are set to make this not even be a problem? Or is it not even Drupal, just the way cookies work? I'm assuming that cookies are the root cause of the access denied issue.

Secondly though I wanna change all these links in the menu_links.link_path which say something like:

http://www.marty.org/?q=node/7 or http://org/node/?q=node/13

to simply say /?q=node/7 and /?q=node/13.

Two questions on that:

1. is this the only change required for this issue?
2. am I right in thinking this can only be done programmatically ie.

there's no way to put together a one line mysql update query that'll work?

Thanks in advance, Marty

Hope it's ok to reply / follow up on my own posting. I ended up finding these hardcoded links on 70 menu entries and a couple of hundred nodes and changed them using mysql substring and replace functions from the shell.

Fortunately we have a test site before going live with these changes.
