Use absolute path for images in post.content

[dtsn]

When you reference an image using a relative URL (e.g. /uploads/image1.jpg) in lots of common feed readers these aren't visible. Ideally, they need to be absolute URL's. I currently do this as a manual process however, we can perform a simple replace in the post.content to add the site.url to the beginning.

need to be converted to absolute URL's

Can you explain why they need to be converted?

Sorry, I've updated the original feature request to be clearer. In a number of feed readers, post images aren't shown if they are relative.

We set the xml:base property, which should make rewriting the URLs themselves uncecesary.

Via the atom spec:

Any element defined by this specification MAY have an xml:base
attribute [W3C.REC-xmlbase-20010627]. When xml:base is used in an
Atom Document, it serves the function described in section 5.1.1 of
[RFC3986], establishing the base URI (or IRI) for resolving any
relative references found within the effective scope of the xml:base
attribute.

Thanks! It may just be my terrible RSS reader, i'll investigate some others.
