It relates to the MHTML support that has been discussed a couple
of times before. But that has been more about the multipart/related
support; which the current mhonarc code base makes it a troublesome
thing to support.
However, to just deal with your particular problem, a solution is to
modify the text/html filter (mhtxthtml.pl) to look at the Content-Base
and Content-Location headers and set $base.
Here is the original code chunk in mhtxthtml.pl to target:
## Get/remove BASE url
if ($data =~ s%(<base\s[^>]*>)%%i) {
$tmp = $1;
($base) = $tmp =~ m%href\s*=\s*['"]([^'"]+)['"]%i;
$base =~ s%(.*/).*%$1%;
}
Since the <BASE> element should take highest precedence, we can add
the check for Content-Base and Content-Location headers to determine
what $base should be. New code (UNTESTED):
## Get/remove BASE url
if ($data =~ s%(<base\s[^>]*>)%%i) {
$tmp = $1;
($base) = $tmp =~ m%href\s*=\s*['"]([^'"]+)['"]%i;
} elsif (defined($tmp = %fields{'content-base'}) ||
defined($tmp = %fields{'content-location'})) {
($base) = $tmp =~ s/["']\s//;
}
$base =~ s%(.*/).*%$1%;
Try it out, and tell us if it works. If so, I'll add it to the next
release.
