DESCRIPTION:
Search from right to left for first occurrence of "/".
Then use everything from the left of that character as the page
base address.

If the position of "/" is less than 7, then that character is
part of an URL that is directly referenced.
(i.e. "http://www.someplace.com".
With direct URL references, always make sure that the base page
address always ends in a "\".

The base domain address found by taking everything to the right
