      I used the Feed Builder to create an RSS feed of Blog Posts from a space. I was doing this to embed Confluence blog posts in an external application.

      I noticed a flaw in the HTML generated for the "body" (<summary> element) of the RSS entries: links embedded in the content that point to Confluence pages are relative to the Base URL of Confluence. That is, they look like this:

      &lt;a href="/display/SPACE/Page"&gt;Link Text&lt;/a&gt;

      Whereas they should probably look like this (to be functional outside of Confluence):

      &lt;a href="http://confluence.url/display/SPACE/Page"&gt;Link Text&lt;/a&gt;

            Hi mtokar

            Thanks for taking the time to raise this issue. This has been on our backlog now for 3 years with very little movement in that time. Rather than leave this here I'm going to close this out as won't fix, I believe it better reflects the status of the issue.

            If the problem is raised again in the future we'll re-address it

            Regards

            Many RSS readers use the feed URL to resolve relative links, but I agree that they should be absolute to work properly in all scenarios.
