RSS Relative Links Yeah, what he said!

I've invalidated my RSS feed by including relative URL references inside some of the IMG tags. Question: if I am required to include a LINK element in my RSS feed, is there a reason RSS aggregators can't use it to resolve relative links? The $REMOTE_HOST or equivalent? Given that people have been using relative URLs in pages for years, I'd expect RSS tools to be a bit more flexible in this regard. I mean, browsers can handle relative URIs, right?

Scott holds a lot more clout than I do in the web world - I'll be surprised if his post doesn't cause waves. He'll also show you how to parse your site's XML feed with CSS and the DOM. Posted in The Web at Nov 16 2002, 01:02:56 AM MST Add a Comment
