link to www.site.com/widgets.htm vs site.com/widgets.htm

[dsz11]

I know that link to www.site.com is different from link to site.com and is different from link to www.site.com/index.htm ...

but what about link to www.site.com/widgets.htm and link to
site.com/widgets.htm, are they different too?

well, yes. 2 different urls. but it also depends, because many programs are able to match both different links to be the same. so what's it about in your case?
