Subject: bug#44189: html-href-anchor, html-image should expand local filenames
Date: Sun, 25 Oct 2020 23:05:39 +0800

But when authoring the typical webpage,
one might include up to e.g., eight
   images/barf01.jpg, images/barf02.jpg, etc.
for each reference to
   someotherfile.html
   (./someotherfile.html)

In fact most web pages include at least one image,
but not necessarily a link to another local article.

Thus we see it is actually more important.

Anyway these never needed their own key bindings in the first place.
All they needed was to detect if http, etc. protocols were in front.
If not, they should expand relative / local filenames.
