feature request for official implementation of feature described here:

http://oregonstate.edu/webprojects/drupal/internal_links

In our implementation, we have modified the PathFilter module to automatically take any link with 'http(s)://server.hostname.com/path/to/drupal/install/' or '/path/to/drupal/install/' and replace it with 'internal:' when saved to the database.

On edit, all instances of 'internal:' are replaced with the appropriate relative or absolute link so WYSIWYG editors will function correctly. On view, all instances of 'internal:' are replaced with an absolute or relative link to the item. Always remember that they will be stored as 'internal:' in the database.

Dear Reciever,

I've read about a very useful change you've made in the Drupal Module PathFilter (http://drupal.org/project/pathfilter)

This change is explained on your site here:
http://oregonstate.edu/webprojects/drupal/internal_links

My request, as member of the Drupal community is the following:
If it is possible, are you willing to contribute the change back into the community?

If you decide you're furfilling this requestit can be done in one of the following ways:
- Add a response with a patch-file (http://drupal.org/patch/create) to the following issue: http://drupal.org/node/283275
- Send the changed module (usually found at /sites/all/modules/PathFilter/ in your Drupal root directory) to my e-mail address: alexanderpas@yahoo.co.uk

Either way, I would like to thank you for your time.

Awaiting your awnser, Alexander Pas

My Pathologic module may work for this case; it can "unabsolute" absolute paths. It doesn't change the content of a post before it is put into the database, however; that is not the task of an input filter.
