[Htmlparser-user] Base tag problem

[Marcin P. <mar...@so...>]

Hi

When I was parsing pages from google.com directory I found a problem:
Inside a document there is such line:
<base target="_top">

but HtmlBaseHREFScanner assumes that there is HREF paramater:
(Line 68) HTMLBaseHREFScanner.java)
String baseUrl = (String)tag.getParameter("HREF");
String absoluteBaseUrl = removeLastSlash(baseUrl.trim());

so I got null pointer exception (of course it is very easy to fix it) 

Is that line from google malformed HTML or it is a bug in parser?
