I've had some success pasting a "Base href=xxx" tag onto the front of
the downloaded html. Something along these lines:
effective_url=`curl $STDOPTS \
-w "%{url_effective}" \
-o page \
http://server.domain.com`
BASEURL=`dirname $effective_url`
cat page | \
sed -e "s;<HEAD>;<HEAD><Base href=\"$BASEURL\">;" \
> page.html
Your browser sees the "Base href=xxx" and uses it to prefix relative urls.
