Additionaly I found a bug: if you have this constelation where CKEDITOR.config.baseHref is different from your document <base href... /> metatag, each image displayed in the ckeditor's-area is also requested with the path from <base href... /> and produces an error line in the webserver's error.log.
I'm seeing this behavior as well in the latest 3.2 release, but I'm also seeing the problem in IE 8 as well. Relative images are not being displayed properly (the config baseHref setting is ignored) in IE unless the content contains a base href tag. The config baseHref setting works fine in Firefox.
I have a simular problem in IE8. I use a relative path to the images. When I upload or integrate a picture via server browsing everything is allright. the picture is shown. BUT when I press the source code button to see the source code and then switch back again to wysiwyg modus the editor can't find the picture again and shows a mistake.

Is CKEDITOR.config.baseHref applied to late?
