I am using Jsoup to extract URL of an webpage. The href attribute of those URL\'s are relative like:

Answer 1

You need Element#absUrl().

String url = dl.select("a").absUrl("href");

You can by the way shorten the select:

Document document = Jsoup.connect(url).get();
Elements links = document.select("div.results dl a");
for (Element link : links) {
    String url = link.absUrl("href");
}
