UseAbsoluteURLDefaults

Set UseAbsoluteURLDefaults to True to use an absolute format for generating constructed link URLs in documents (that is, links start with http:// or https:// and the View component host and port).

By default, View generates root-relative links (starting with the slash (/) character), because these work in a wider range of scenarios. You can set UseAbsoluteURLDefaults to True to use absolute links, which was the default behavior in versions of View earlier than 12.9.0.

If neither root-relative nor absolute links work correctly, you might need to use URLPrefix or DefaultURLPrefix to specify how View constructs the links.

NOTE: When you set UseAbsoluteURLDefaults to True, if the View component receives requests over SSL, it automatically uses https:// in the links.
