Lemme guess: weird problem -> still using IIS. Ya know.. getting a copy
of Apache and Linux costs less than sending me lots of email.

The urlbase value is automatically constructed internally from the
SERVER_NAME environment variable. The relevant code is here:

You can probably manually set it in your hgweb stub script.

According to PEP 0333 (aka the WSGI spec), the SERVER_NAME variable is a
required part of the request environment.. so your WSGI wrapper is
buggy. But we should also probably prefer HTTP_HOST in the header if
it's available.. but it's all a little complicated.

I've created a bug to track this:
