Extract absolute URL from Relative

[Mahadevan]

HI,
I am using Apache HTTPClient. I need to get the absolute path from the relative image src urls.
Is there any apis in Apache HTTPs?

For ex: if you do google in IE view source logo will display the relative path. If you right click -> properities it is showing the absoulte path.

Use the URL constructor that takes a base URL. For instance:

URL base = new URL("http://www.coderanch.com/");
URL thread = new URL(base, "/t/480096/Java-General/java/Extract-absolute-URL-from-Relative");
System.out.println(thread);

If you don't have the base URL then there is nothing you can do though. After all, relative to what?
