Description

Some parsers have no Outlinks returned. E.g. the Word-Parser.
This class is able to extract (absolute) hyperlinks from a plain String (content) and generates outlinks from them.
This would be very usful for parser which have no explicite extraction of hyperlinks.

Excample:

Outlink[] links = OutlinkExtractor.getOutlinks("Nutch is located at http://www.apache.org and ...");

Will return an array of Outlinks containing the one element of "http://www.apache.org".
