Description:
------------
function.output_add_rewrite_var fails with explicit URLs, i.e. URL's that explicilty include domain. But works with Implicit domains... e.g. those that do not contain the domain, but is implied to be the current domain. 

I realise the benefits, it doesn't alter the links to external domains, however could this function not realise if the URL is of the current domain, + where URLs are explicitly writen.

I've included two urls, the first type ( implicit ) works :) the second type ( explicit ) fails.

Is this a bug or a feature?

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php 
 
output_add_rewrite_var('auth', '412e11'); 
 
?> 
<a href="link.php">Click Here</a>
<a href="http://this.site.net/link.php">Click Here</a>


Expected result:
----------------
<a href="link.php?auth=412e11">Click Here</a>
<a href="http://this.site.net/link.php?auth=412e11">Click Here</a>


Actual result:
--------------
<a href="link.php?auth=412e11">Click Here</a>
<a href="http://this.site.net/link.php">Click Here</a>

Reclassified as docu problem.
URL-Rewriter does not change absolute URLs intentionally.

First, captcha's aren't working when cookies disabled (developping setting :P)

But what if someone posts in your forum, here look this product: http://mywebshop.tld/lawn-mower-p-89.html and someone clicks it while having cookies disabled, he will lose his cart and/or is login...

We can also strip the domain name including http:// (http://webshop.tld), and make it a relative url...

After that the buffer_rewrite will include a sessionid.

Btw, php 4.3.9. does a check if the var isn't set already while 5.0.4. (my local xampp version) doesn't. This was a lill' confusing. I will mention this in the online manual...

Best regards,

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
