Ken Krugler commented on TIKA-508:
----------------------------------
I don't think the codebase URI can be relative, as per
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/objects.html#adef-codebase-OBJECT. It says
"This attribute specifies the base path used to resolve relative URIs...". For
URIs of other attributes, if they can be relative then there's the note "If
given as a relative URI...", but this is missing from the description of
codebase. So while not definitive, it feels like it shouldn't be relative.
> HtmlParser link processing should skip usemap and codebase attributes

> Key: TIKA-508

> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: parser
> Affects Versions: 0.7
> Reporter: Ken Krugler
> Assignee: Ken Krugler
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.9
>
>
> Currently the HtmlParser will try to resolve usemap and codebase attributes
> in elements.
> usemap is actually not a URI - see
> http://ln.hixie.ch/?start=1172653243&count=1 for a lengthy description of why
> the DTD at
> http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/REC-xhtml1-20020801/dtds.html#a_dtd_XHTML-1.0-Strict
> is incorrect.
> codebase is actually a base URI that's used to resolve other relative URLs
> for <object> and <applet> elements.
