Subject: Re: About Sinatra

The problem is with href url you are using.
If you'll try to put it to the HTML directly (without
Sinatra or HAML):

``` html
<a href="www.google.com">link</a>
```

You will get same result (in fact browser simply treats this
URL as relative to current one). The correct way for you is:

``` haml
%a{:href => "//www.google.com"}link
```

Or with specifying protocol directly

``` haml
%a{:href => "http://www.google.com"}link
```

NOTICE, that if you are not specifying a protocol, e.g.
`//foobar.com` then browser will automagcally use the protocol
of your current URL.
