[wp-hackers] Site Address during development

[Gavin Pearce]

Mike,

Respectfully, if you had followed this thread yourself you would have
seen that the email you quoted wasn't from myself - plus that the reason
you gave has already had a counter-argument put against it.  ;)

We all understand that RSS needs absolute URLs, but surely WordPress
core could use the wp-config.php or admin area settings when building
the URL within feeds, or anywhere an absolute URL is needed?

Yes, adds to overheads, but only very, very, very nominally.

Gavin,
If you had followed this thread you would have already seen the answer:

You *have* to have absolute URLs in RSS feeds and other non-browser
situations, otherwise images, and especially podcasts would break,
because
the content is not being consumed in the context of the site and a
browser.
