getRelativeURL: Compute name of URL relative to a base URL

Description

This function is a convenience function for computing the fullly qualified URI of a document relative to a base URL. It handles the case where the document is already fully qualified and so ignores the base URL or, alternatively, is a relative document name and so prepends the base URL. It does not (yet) try to be clever by collapsing relative directories such as "..".

Usage

getRelativeURL(u, baseURL, sep = "/")

Arguments

Value

  • A character string giving the fully qualified URI for u.
