Breaks on malformed double http links

[salamanders]

public static function absolutize_url($relative, $base)
will not return an object if the link is one of the messed up "http://http://whatever.com" bad encoding variety, which will kill the RSS read.

It also seems to die if the "$relative" section has a double forward slash.

Also breaks if both parameters are empty.

Got the same problem.
Changed the function to:
public static function absolutize_url($relative, $base)
{
$iri = SimplePie_IRI::absolutize(new SimplePie_IRI($base), $relative);
if($iri === false){
return false;
}
return $iri->get_uri();
}

Nice fix, didn't know I could return false. Thanks! back up and running for now.

Cool, glad I could help out :-)
