It's the same underlying problem; apache itself is comparing the
source and destination URLs for a COPY request, making sure they're
operating within the "same server". If the protocol schemas don't
match -- or if the hostnames don't match -- then apache think you're
trying to copy something between two different servers.
That said, maybe we should expand the explanation in the book to warn
about schemas as well as hostnames...
