Have you tried setting:

relative_urls : false
convert_urls : false

Yes I have.

And also:

<TidyEditorContent>False</TidyEditorContent> in umbracoSettings.config

<config key="cleanup">false</config> in tidyMceConfig.config

and I have restarted the application by resaving web.config.

I just tried on a stock install and i can save the full URL just fine.

My config has only this in the custom section:

<!-- this area is for custom config settings that should be added during TinyMCE initialization -->
  <customConfig>
    <!--    <config key="myKey">mySetting</config>-->
    <config key="entity_encoding">raw</config>
  </customConfig>

Maybe try changing yours to be the same and see if that fixes it?

I have tried that as well, but with no luck.

The fact that the site is only used by a few persons (and one of them is me) makes me wish that I could turn of all tinyMCE tidying completely. Since it seems to tidy away good HTML in some cases, I rather take the risk och bad HTML from me instead of bad HTML from tinyMCE. Is this possible at all?

I still want the editor but no tidying.

I think that turning off tidying is not recommended.

but you can certainly try it by setting:

cleanup : false,

OK, I see why I should not disable tidying completely, but the original problem is still not solved.

The problem is that i cannot write text (text, not a or img tag, but general text) that contains a URL that contains the hostname of the server.

http://www.mysite.co/apage.aspx

is saved as

/apage.aspx

Since I am trying to write a HTML code snippets that users can copy and use on their sites, I need full URLs.

Any ideas? My customer is questioning why umbraco was chosen when "it cannot even save text properly" and I am running out of arguments. Saying that "it should work" does not help.

i also found out that if an external link contains /media/ the whole url gets stripped of. http://externallink.com/var/images/media/teaser.jpg

This seems to me like a bug in handling urls.

This is the methode which creates a problem with those image urls

I entered a workplex item:
http://umbraco.codeplex.com/workitem/27431

        private static string StripSrc(string cleanTag, Hashtable ht)
        {
            string src = helper.FindAttribute(ht, "src");
            // update orgSrc to remove umbraco reference
            if (src.IndexOf("/media/") > -1)
                src = src.Substring(src.IndexOf("/media/"), src.Length - src.IndexOf("/media/"));

            cleanTag += " src=\"" + src + "\"";
            return cleanTag;
        }

You can also remove the http:// to preserve the full text (IIRC).  Users don't understand it & browsers don't need it anyhow.

is working on a reply...
