I’m practicing Selenium, I got a strange issue and couldn’t find the reason for a while.

In my Mac, I started a Selenium standalone server and a selenium web driver.

In Elciplse, I coded my Selenium scripts, created a Selenium instance as told like this:

selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444,
    "*chrome", "http://sydney.mycompany.net.au/GBT");

http://sydney.mycompany.net.au/” is an internal web of our company.

When I started JUnit, it looks my selenium server didn’t sent GET /GBT to our web server (I checked the wireshark trace), only the first part (http://sysney.mycompany.net.au) was counted, but /GBT was cut off.

If I changed the url to www.google.com.au, everything is fine.

I tried some public web page such as www.dailytelegraph.com.au/lifestyle, I got the same problem: the lifestyle was cut off too.

Is there any settings I need to do on seleniume server or driver side? Very thanks.

    When you initialize selenium, base url is specified (i.e. domain name). After your base url was specified, you can navigate to internal web pages via selenium.open("/GBT")
