Bug Description

Full-Text RSS

The bug can be seen in this link:
http://fivefilters.org/content-only/makefulltextfeed.php?url=www.aeguitar.org/rss/rss.xml&key=&max=4&links=preserve&submit=Create+Feed

Most of the links are pointing to fivefilters because they're relative links. The same is true for relative-linked images.

If Full-Text RSS is hosted on a different domain, relative links will point to that domain.

Thank you for the report.

I've looked into this and should have a solution soon. I'd avoided rewriting relative URLs because it should really be something handled by feed readers. I'd assumed relative URLs would be resolved against the item URL but it appears that there's not very much in the spec about this problem. You might be interested in these two (fairly old) posts:

http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/rss/relativeURI.html

I think in the next update I'll turn these relative URLs into full URLs using the item URL as base.

Thanks for the report!
