Administration Joomla! 4.x • Re: Acceptance of relative URLs for iFrame wrappers in menu items

Is the documentation mentioned above wrong then as it speaks of relative URLS.

URL. Field to enter a URL (web page address.
Generally, it is a good idea to always add http:// or https:// when providing a URL. There is a Auto add function to prefix a URL with http:// unless it detects the prefix in the URL. NOTE - Use the relative path to a web page address on Joomla installation. If your Joomla! website is http://www.example.com, then use /html_docs/example.html omitting http://www.example.com and make sure the 'Auto add' function is disabled.

...or am I misunderstanding what that is saying?

My understanding is also that it deliberately uses relative URLs. Like mentioned in the the documentation, it really makes sense for the maintenance of the Joomla installation to use relative URLs if the path lies within the Joomla installation folders. For example, it enables to move the whole installation to a different folder or a different server without changing the iFrame wrapper URLs.
