scripts to read a file and change all the url to absolute address

[searain]

For example, if my site is http://www.mysite.com

And there might be a file http://www.mysite.com/news/20051105.html

I am looking for a script which could read the file 2051105.html and change all the urls from realtive to the document, relative to the root to absolute address and out put a new file. In the new file, all the links, all the images, all the url referece will use the absolute url address

Such as "http://www.mysite.com/images/image1.jpg" instead of "/images/image1.jpg" or "../images/image1.jpg".

Thanks!

Well, I dunno how often people say, "here ya go, here's exactly what you need!" Let's both hope that somebody gives you a better "lead." But when I read this I thought this sounded like an application for Web proxy. I remember a class called Snoopy that works very well for this and it's freely distributed. It does not, however, do exactly what you are asking. I'm only suggesting it because I know I'd be looking for a way to match and replace all "src=" in my HTML body. I'm somewhat certain that Snoopy performs this for proxying and you may be able to open the hood and get some clues.
