@heyycap I mention the use of the base tag in an answer to another question: webmasters.stackexchange.com/a/86458/1243 - This other question relates to URL-rewriting, but the same principle applies here. In your question, the URL is effectively being rewritten to the error document. (In actual fact, it is an internal subrequest that causes the error document to be served, but the result is similar).

@StephenOstermiller "unadvisable" maybe a bit strong. It's OK. (Although it is better in most cases to use root-relative URLs if you are able to.) But you should be aware of some caveats... such as any relative URL that is intended to target the current document will now target the base URL. Such as in-page anchors href="#top" and href="?sortby=date" (less common) type URLs etc. These relative URLs that target the current document will need to be modified to include the full URL of the current page (which kind of defeats the point of using the base tag to begin with).
