Confirmation page problem - Post ID...

Just started using WFB for a new website I am working on.

All is working well except for the 'thank you' page.
In the settings I specified "thankyou.html" as the confirmation page. The page lives in the same directory as the page with the form.

But when 'Submit' is pressed I get a 404 error. For some reason the link in the browser shows hhtps:// instead of just plain http://.

Any idea what could cause this?

Dbl check the link you entered for the redirect to the thankyou.html.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Thank you for the replies.
I have fixed this problem now.
For future reference: During the testing phase I had just entered 'thankyou.html' in Settings.
That worked fine on the test server. But when the site was moved to its' hosting server it stopped working.
I have now entered the full 'http://www. etc' link and it works.
