SB Development License Image Paths

I have a Small Business (10 Domains) licensed copy of the Cute Editor for .Net. I wish to take advantage of using the
http://localhost/webapplication
ability for development. I have confirmed that development using
http://localhost/webapplication
does work for me with my license. However, I'm having trouble getting past one item that I'm sure you or other customers have come across a solution for.
My production site might be:
http://www.mydomain.com
My Dev site site would be:
http://localhost/webapplication
with webapplication configured as a Virtual Directory under IIS 6.0 as an application (allowing scripts).
My issue is this. When using the Cute Editor and an image is added to the html using the pre-built image managers in your tool, it is given a path of "/webapplication/images/myimage.jpg" in the <img> tag. Everything works fine while in the "Dev" environment and image is shown just fine. But when I move to PROD and wish to drop the "webapplication" from the URL and use strictly the Domain Name as the root URL, the images are not found because the path for the images becomes
http://www.mydomain.com/
webapplication/
images/myimage.jpg
. The correct path should be
http://www.mydomain.com/images/myimage.jpg
.
It seems that the easiest solution would be to configure IIS on the "Dev" environment to define the web site root path as
http://localhost/webapplication
and not
http://localhost
as it appears to be doing. That way, your Image Inserter would pick up that root path and not add"/webapplication" as a prefix to it's path for the images. Then my site content can move from DEV -> PROD without any pathing issues. That said, I have not found a way to configure IIS to understand that
http://localhost/webapplication
should be the root path.
An alternative solution would be to take one of my ten allowed domains and use it exclusively for DEV. If possible, I would not use a domain for this purpose on DEV but an IP with ports to allow me to have many "web applications" available at a time. How can I get that to work? This is probably my preferred solution because it allows me to demo the site for my customers using an external IP. Is that allowed with my license?
