Rewrite absolute URL | Convertigo Documentation

Rewrites absolute URLs found in a Site Clipper response.

The Rewrite absolute URL extraction rule rewrites absolute URLs found in Site Clipper HTTP responses, for the links or resources accessed by these URLs to be accessed through Convertigo Site Clipper.
This extraction rule will be executed only on HTTP responses that match certain MIME types:

• If Rewrite HTML code property value is set to true, URLs found in HTML code are rewritten. That means the extraction rule is searching for URLs to rewrite in HTTP responses of text/html or application/xhtml+xml MIME types.
• If Rewrite CSS code property value is set to true, URLs found in CSS code are rewritten. That means the extraction rule is searching for URLs to rewrite in HTTP responses of text/css, text/html or application/xhtml+xml MIME types.

Notes:

• Absolute URLs are rewritten only if they don’t match a black listed domain defined in the Domains listing property of the associated Site Clipper connector.
• If applicable, relative URLs are rewritten to absolute ones.
• URLs found in JavaScript code will not be rewritten by this rule. To do so, use a Replace string extraction rule parametered for your specific case.
