Absolute URL deriver

Overview

Derives absolute URL from relative and source URLs.

Useful when:

• extracting full HREF URLs for links in a HTML document
• determining absolute new URL for a 301 redirect where the HTTP server returned a relative Location value

Usage

The "Hello World" example

<?php
$deriver = new \webignition\AbsoluteUrlDeriver\AbsoluteUrlDeriver(
    '/server.php?param1=value1',
    'http://www.example.com/pathOne/pathTwo/pathThree'
);

$this->assertEquals('http://www.example.com/server.php?param1=value1', $deriver->getAbsoluteUrl());
