(Html)Page.getBaseUrl() not returning base URL

getBaseUrl() does not seem to actually return the base URL anymore - in some cases at least.

The URL I loaded was something like this: https://www.example.org/details/a_b_60327_c-15651212_1;jsessionid=7132CE8CE959709FD76D745BA600BC9A?x=y&z=zz

But then

final String pdfUrl = "/a/b/c";
System.out.println(page.getBaseURL().toString()+ pdfUrl);

returns https://www.example.org/details/a_b_60327_c-15651212_1;jsessionid=7132CE8CE959709FD76D745BA600BC9A?x=y&z=zz/a/b/c

HtmlUnit 2.36.0

I circumvent this by checking whether it’s a relative URL or not and then using HtmlPage.getFullyQualifiedUrl().

yeah thanks, throw it away - most probably obsolete.

Ok, will do.

I hope the same goes for you!

Yes outside the usual problems when getting older 😃

How are things going with HtmlUnit?

I think good - lot of work, some plans for version 3.0 but no time to do it as fast as i like

Guess you could always use some more helping hands?

Of course

Btw, does the GitHub sponsor thing go 100% straight into your pocket

Not really, but the sum i got every month is at least sufficient for the discussion with my wife if she ask what i’m doing here all the time Maybe i think different about that after my ‘Steuererklärung’

Hi just found this old one - i like to close this. Please open a new one if you still think the current behavior is not correct.

BTW: Hope you are fine…
