Make it easier to produce a page with links with absolute urls
--------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: WICKET-4502
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-4502
             Project: Wicket
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: wicket
    Affects Versions: 1.5.5
            Reporter: Martin Grigorov


We needed to create a page which links have absolute urls (protocol, host, port 
included). So I created a simple extension of MountedMapper that makes the 
relative url returned by super.mapHandler() to an absolute one.
So far so far but later Wicket uses 
org.apache.wicket.request.UrlRenderer#shouldRenderAsFull() to decide whether to 
actually render the url as full (i.e. as absolute) and since the protocol, the 
host and the port matches with the current request's url attributes it decides 
to render the url as relative.

Since Url class is final it is not possible to create a custom AbsoluteUrl 
which #toString() delegates to #toString(StringMode.FULL).

I see two solutions:
1) provide AbsoluteUrl class which is again final and uses StringMode.FULL
2) add a boolean flag to Url that is used by UrlRenderer#shouldRenderAsFull() 
so I can force full mode

Do you have other solutions ?
