Absolute URI rendered as relative URI if absolute URI related to domain of POM 
URI

         Key: MSITE-159
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-159
     Project: Maven 2.x Site Plugin
        Type: Bug

    Reporter: Ted Husted


Under site-beta5 

if the POM references a URI like 

  <url>http://struts.apache.org</url>

absolute URLs used in the site.xml file are converted to relative references. 

For example a reference to to "http://struts.apache.org/1.x"; becomes "1.x",  
and a reference to
just "http://struts.apache.org"; becomes an empty string.  

If the documentation is being used offline, there are many cases when we want 
to refer people back to the website, to be sure the current information is 
used. The best use case is a download page that determines the mirror via CGI. 

Another use case is referring to a sister site in the domain, that might refer 
to another version. If used locally, the other site might not be in the 
relative location. 

Switching back to beta4 cures the behavior, and absolute URIs remain absolute, 
as expected.
