Subject: Bug#19478: BASE HREF ignored when you select "Copy Link Location"
X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kfm-devel&m=98096530019197

Package: khtml
Version: 3.0 (KDE 2.1 post Beta 2 (>= 20010128))
Severity: normal
Installed from: from source, obtained via CVS 30 Jan 8:00am GMT
Compiler: gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)
OS: Linux 2.2.14-VA.5.1 i686 (compiled sources)

When a page with a BASE HREF is loaded, relative links 
resolve properly when followed, but the BASE seems to be 
ignored when you drop down the menu and select "Copy Link 
Location," and thus an incorrect URL goes to the clipboard.

I first discovered this while navigating Google's cache 
but was able to reproduce it with a simpler (and HTML 
4-conforming) documents as well, including the short 
example mentioned in the HTML 4 spec:
