I actually posted to this group (~ a year ago) portlet code "HTMLFQPortlet"
that had the following characteristics:
- It extracted all markup between the <BODY> and </BODY> tags
- it modified href=, src= and action= tags to redirect to the source server
- it handled absolute and relative-to-current directories (ie - I did not
implement ../directory or ./directory)
- I had also implemented a parameter where you could specify which
attributes you wanted to seek to update the url's. For example, some screens
use "url=". To minimize impact on performance, I did not want to scan the
HTML for tags too many times if I knew something about the page I was
serving up. Because my code was never commited, I assumed there was no
interest so I never shared the final version.
I am not sure why the code was never commited - perhaps commiters were too
busy, or perhaps the code was just junk (I had presumed the latter). Anyway,
If anyone is interested, I still have a copy I could share. Should I post it
to the group again, or does someone want it emailed directly to them? If
people use it, I would be happy to debug problems that might arise. (I have
not yet tested it with the latest version of Jetspeed)
