 We're relying on the `<link rel="canonical" href=...>` tag for the link
 rendered for a Pressed page. The standard allows relative URLs in that
 field, which are currently being allowed in PT.

 Steps to duplicate:
 1. Create a test html page with
 {{{
 <html>
 <head>
         <link rel="canonical" href="/test.html">
         <title>Test</title>
 </head>
 <body>
         <h1>TEST</h1>
 </body>
 </html>
 }}}

 2. Press that page
 3. Check URL used in the "source" link.

 Expected: An absolute URL
 Actual: Relative URL based on the href tag.
