Extra Slashes in URL Hyperlinks

Hi Sergey,

This is reproducible with your pre-compiled RVActionTest demo 1.9.8 (and earlier).
Open www.google.ca in IE (I haven't tried other browsers, not for this problem). Select either the entire page contents or just a few problematic links (about 2/3 of them are). Copy and paste the selection into RVActionTest or any TRichViewEdit. Some links end up with corrupted URLs, e.g., "About Google" now points to http://www.google.ca//intl/en/about.html (notice the doubled-up slash between the domain name and the path).
The specific URL I mentioned above goes like this in page source: <a href=/intl/en/about.html>About Google</a>, so I suspect that the problem happens when the fully-qualified URL is assembled from http://www.google.ca/ + /intl/en/about.html.
Hopefully, this is easy to fix (if I'm right). Thanks,

Michel

So, Sergey, any thoughts on this? Before it scrolls off the first page of the forum...

Thanks,
Michel

This might be related to the problem I saw with pulling images with root-based source paths:

That link to topic 209 isn't working for me (and not because of double-slashes!). It's actually rather strange: your profiles says "8 posts" but search only finds 6. phpBB bug? Or was your thread lost/deleted?

It will be fixed in one of next updates.

Michel, this link points to the article in the protected forum for registered TRichView users. If you are a registered user, send me a private message or e-mail (include some info identifying you as a registered user, for example the e-mail address which was used in the your order)

Sergey, I just stumbled upon the InternetCombineUrl() Win32 API function. I don't know if you are already using it or know of it, but thought I'd mention it (could prove useful/convenient).
Best regards,
Michel
