Description houz 2016-07-17 16:33:57 UTC

Would it be possible to support relative links in RSS posts? Using the host the feed was fetched from might be a good idea. Currently those links are turned to 'file://', i.e., local filesystem links which is probably not the right thing in most cases.

For example the feed at https://blog.fefe.de/rss.xml?html has one entry like this:

<item>
<title>Theresa May schließt erstmal die Behörde, die für ...</title>
<link>https://blog.fefe.de/?ts=a97479f6</link>

Bisher gab es dafür das "Department for Energy and Climate Change" (und da gehört das ja auch hin, erneuerbare Energiequellen und so weiter). Jetzt kümmert sich darum, das "Department for Business, Energy &amp; Industrial Strategy". Das Business in dem Namen lässt nicht viel Gutes vermuten.<p>Für Kontext <a href="/?ts=a998af0c">siehe auch</a>.]]></description>
</item>

As you can see, there is a link with the URL "/?ts=a998af0c". That link results in "file:///?ts=a998af0c" when i click it in Akregator. I would agree that relative URLs in a RSS feed are a little strange at best, but if there is a better way than assuming local file system locations it might improve the real world experience of users.
