Hi,
I see when save a sld file using a local SVG symbol.

The svg has a xlink:href like this:

xlink:href="C:/my-programs/OSGeo4W/apps/qgis-dev/./svg/sport/golf_flag_in_hole_on_gr_01.svg"

AFAIK it should be defined with a URI sintax like this:
file:///C:/my-programs/OSGeo4W/apps/qgis-dev/./svg/sport/golf_flag_in_hole_on_gr_01.svg

Regards.

Links must follow the "xlink":http://www.w3.org/TR/xlink/ specifications, this means that urls could also contain relative paths.
It's better to use relative paths instead of absolute ones so SLD files can be shared in a easier way.

QGIS stores paths into the QML files as relative to either the project path or one of the directories in QgsApplication::svgPaths(), the same approach could be used for SLD files.

This approach is quite clear to be for local files.

But I don't understand how it is applied to a internet URL.
QGIS store as a directory in svgPath the URL of a remote server ?

The ticket is about local files...

No changes will be done to remote URLs, they are stored unchanged in both QML and SLD.
