[htdig-dev] Base URL problem

[Gabriele B. <g.b...@co...>]

Ciao guys,

   as Hans Sandsdalen posted early today, he is encountering a problem
with base URLs tags: at a first glance, it looks like the 'port' part of
URL is not considered.

This is the HTML instruction he's got in the document:

<base href=3D"http://www2.spacetec.no:8080/www2/docs/Rutiner/Adm-rutiner/"

and here is what htdig shows:

Tag: base href=3D"http://www2.spacetec.no/www2/docs/Rutiner/Adm-rutiner/"

   As you can easily notice, the port info as been lost.

   I had a quick look at the code, and the instructions that concern
this are in the HTML.cc file, precisely:

<<<
        case 23:        // base
        {
          if (!attrs["href"].empty())
            {
              URL tempBase(transSGML(attrs["href"]));
              *base =3D tempBase;
            }
          break;
        }
>>>

   The first thing that I noticed is that we are using the assignment
operator which is not defined in the URL class; I know this doesn't mean
it is a *bad* thing (it should work with a simple attribute by attribute
copy), I just feel more relaxed by providing our own.

   Thus, I changed the code of URL.h and .cc files in order to manage
it.

   Again I don't know whether this could solve the problem or not (I
also feel stupid because I didn't ask him immediately the version he's
using - this bug could already be solved).

Ciao
-Gabriele
