John Allen commented on MSITE-159: ---------------------------------- I think something along the lines of 'convert URLs to relative URLs where possible' is sensible. Note that even relatives can be converted into better relatives. i.e. foo/bar/../../foo/bar/../ is the same as .. > Absolute URI rendered as relative URI if absolute URI related to domain of > POM URI > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MSITE-159 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-159 > Project: Maven 2.x Site Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Ted Husted > > Under site-beta5 > if the POM references a URI like > <url>http://struts.apache.org</url> > absolute URLs used in the site.xml file are converted to relative references. > For example a reference to to "http://struts.apache.org/1.x"; becomes "1.x", > and a reference to > just "http://struts.apache.org"; becomes an empty string. > If the documentation is being used offline, there are many cases when we want > to refer people back to the website, to be sure the current information is > used. The best use case is a download page that determines the mirror via > CGI. > Another use case is referring to a sister site in the domain, that might > refer to another version. If used locally, the other site might not be in the > relative location. > Switching back to beta4 cures the behavior, and absolute URIs remain > absolute, as expected. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
