LYNX-DEV Re: BASE HREF= in html parsing

[Leonid Pauzner]

I fix the problem myself - the patch is obvious,
it ignore *any* html_base_href tag for -localhost mode.
Everything looks OK.

Minor disadvantage (I am not sure if happened) may be
if BASE HREF=news://...  or others [not http://]
and no link possible for related localhost documents,
so it may be useful to view correct URL in advanced mode.
