Re: RFC: Name and/or API for module ("HTML::RewriteURLs")

Rebase.pm sounds good for me, not sure about the path ...

... but HTML::Rebase should be obvious, since there is already a 'HTML <base> Tag' for the purpose of relative URLs.

(your code handles the base tag, right? ;)

My code doesn't handle tags, it blindly handles attributes. But as the `<base>` tag has the `href=` attribute, that will be rewritten too. Maybe the more proper approach would be to eliminate the tag but I'll wait for bug reports to come in :)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Well. .. If you don't have options to handle base, then better forget my suggestion to call it Rebase.pm ... ;) Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Je suis Charlie!} Updated wording	[reply]

I've released it as HTML::Rebase without `<base href=` support. But while thinking about how to also process the tag, I think support for it should be fairly simple. First scan the HTML for the `<base>` tag. If it is there, use that URL instead of the user-supplied URL to rewrite all links. This will likely get into a later version.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
