RE: How to expand a relative URL into an absolute one ?

You can use HTParse which can give you the part you want of the URI relative
to another one, for example:

	full_addr = HTParse ("./foo.html", "http://www.foo.com", PARSE_ALL);

see

	http://www.w3.org/Library/src/HTParse.html

for more options.
