BASE element

Where exactly does the HTTP server resolve the address of a BASE URI?
Let's say I have a heirarchy as follows:

            Desktop   <-http server launched from here
                |
            Projects
                |  
             userhome
                |
             userpg.html

If I set the userpg.html BASE element to the following:
    <BASE HREF="http://<my IP addr here>/Projects/userhome/
        userpg.html"

Does the server look for relative links from the "userhome" level now?
In other words, if a BASE element isn't specified, will the server use
it's launching point( Desktop, in this case ) as it's base directory?

Thanks,
Scott
