# UseAbsoluteURLDefaults

Set `UseAbsoluteURLDefaults` to `True` to use an absolute format for generating constructed link URLs in documents (that is, links start with `http://` or `https://` and the View component host and port).

By default, View generates root-relative links (starting with the slash (`/`) character), because these work in a wider range of scenarios. You can set `UseAbsoluteURLDefaults` to `True` to use absolute links, which was the default behavior in versions of View earlier than 12.9.0.

If neither root-relative nor absolute links work correctly, you might need to use URLPrefix or DefaultURLPrefix to specify how View constructs the links.

NOTE: When you set `UseAbsoluteURLDefaults` to `True`, if the View component receives requests over SSL, it automatically uses `https://` in the links.
