# Description
The HTML5 spec states that the href attribute is optional for the
base tag. The current code causes an exception on conforming HTML.
Fixed the DomCrawler::addHtmlContent() method to support this.
Added Unit Test to check for this situation.

# Explanantion
Currently, if the base tag doesn't have an href attribute, the uri for the DomCrawler gets set to an empty string. This is incorrect behaviour, especially because it breaks DomCrawler::links(). The Symfony\Component\DomCrawler\Link objects it creates, expect a non-empty string in their constructor arguments and throw an InvalidArgumentException.

i have classified it as a bug fix, since due to the wrapping it can break assumptions about the loaded class loader, so implementing this method at least doesnt break the assumption that ``findFile()`` is available.

actually i think we should also introduced a loader interface to reduce the duct typing

:-1: for the interface:

- it would make the use of the autoloader more difficult (you would have to require the interface before requiring the loader)
- it would forbid using these wrappers with the composer ClassLoader

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

mh, i think all autoloaders should follow a common interface, maybe its worth to think about a PSR?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

by lsmith77 at 2013-02-24T19:27:27Z

ah I see

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

by stof at 2013-02-24T20:33:07Z

@digitalkaoz Such an interface would have to be in PHP itself, otherwise, you would have to require it first each time (as it cannot be autoloaded before registering the autoloader). And an autoloader in PHP is just a callable.

Yes @stof, i know, but it would be nice if all autoloaders follows a common pattern , call it a convention ;)
[TwigBridge] fixed the translator extractor that were not trimming the text in trans tags (closes #7056)

Trimming was not done by the extractor but it was the default behavior
of the TransNode class. Now, things are consistent between the two.

[DomCrawler] fix handling of schemes by Link::getUri()

A link (anchor tag with an href attr) in crawled by the Crawler
can contain any valid URI, including mailto: links.

Currently this is not correctly supported by Link::getUri.
Schemes that do not start with 'http' are treated as relative URIs
and appenden to the base URI. This leads to strange URIs like this:
http://foo.com/mailto:foo@bar.com

Fixed Link::getUri to treat any URI with a schema part as an
absolute URL. Updated the unit tests to test for this.
merged branch matthijsvandenbos/matthijsvandenbos/link-handle-scheme (PR #7214)

[Console] fixes unparsed StringInput tokens

`StringInput` instances call `setToken` after constructor, `parse` method is called in constructor, so `StringInput` tokens where never parsed.
