Relative To Absolute Path Convertor

[ciocan]

Is there a built in function/plugin that converts
relative paths from a html page to absolute ones?

Example:
target url: http://mysite.com/folder/url.html

url content:
...
<script src="/script.js"></script>
<a href="link.html">some link</a>
...

converted content:
...
<script src="http://mysite.com/script.js"></script>
< a href="http://mysite.com/folder/link.html">some link</ a>
...

How can I accomplish this using ruby ?

Dear Ciocan,

you could use something like

str="http://mysite.com/folder/url.html"
p File.dirname(str)
p File.basename(str)
p File.basename(str,".html")

Best regards,

Axel

Use URI#merge:
=> "http://mysite.com/folder/link.html"
