Difference between an Absolute and Relative URL

Question

Can someone guide me through the difference between an Absolute and Relative URL?

Answer 1

Absolute URL means the URL starts with http or https. Selenium IDE adds the argument in the open statement and creates an absolute URL.

Relative URL means that in BaseURL, we can put the main domain, and in the open statement, user should put relative URL; 

For example, if main url is http://mysite.com, in the relative url, we can put http://beta.mysite.com in the open statement.
