title: Using Beautiful Soup to get the full URL in source code
body: <p>So I was looking at some source code and I came across this bit of code</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;img src="/gallery/2012-winners-finalists/HM_Watching%20birds2_Shane%20Conklin_MA_2012.jpg"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>now in the source code the link is blue and when you click it, it takes you to the full URL where that picture is located, I know how to get what is shown in the source code in Python using Beautiful Soup I was wondering though how to get the full URL you get once clicking the link in the source code?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:
  if I was given <code>&lt;a href = "/folder/big/a.jpg"</code> how do you figure out the starting part of that url through python or beautiful soup?</p>
