------------------------------------
I'm thinking of implementing this unless someone already has a patch.
> HtmlParser should resolve relative paths in <a href="xxx"> elements
> -------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: TIKA-287
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-287
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: parser
> Affects Versions: 0.4
> Reporter: Ken Krugler
> Assignee: Jukka Zitting
>
> Currently clients of the HtmlParser need to manually keep track of the
> appropriate base URL to use when resolving relative URLs in href="xxx"
> attributes.
> The parser should use the metadata RESOURCE_NAME_KEY value as the base.
> The parser should also watch for a <base> element in the <head> section, and
> use that to update the base URL.
> Note that special care must be taken to work around a known bug in the Java
> URL() class, when the relative URL is a query string and the base URL doesn't
> end with a '/'.
