The period works like a it would in any relative path. Say you've got a site like this with only one subdirectory...

www.mysite.com/subdirectory/index.htm

and you type in one period...

www.mysite.com/mydirectory/./subdirectory/index.htm - it would resolve to:
www.mysite.com/mydirectory/subdirectory/index.htm

You can also put in two periods...
www.mysite.com/mydirectory/../subdirectory/index.htm - and it'll resolve to:
www.mysite.com/subdirectory/index.htm

Nothing new here, really. It's all done on the server site. Not sure why you'd find a link to that, though.
