I googled a bit too. The Perl forums talk about using a regular expression. You can probably take that and translate it into the Python equivalent: http://forums.devshed.com/perl-programming-6/how-to-parse-relatives-links-to-absolute-links-8173.html I also found this, which appears to be an old c.l.py thread: http://www.dbforums.com/archive/index.php/t-320359.html You might have more luck if you google for "relative to absolute links". I would also take a look at how django or cherrypy creates their URLs. Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
