Fix the code that is screen scraping the list's web pages.

Now if you were using a decent language like Python instead of PHP you 
would find Python's urlparse module and its urljoin function do exactly 
what you want: look at the Python documentation. I am surprised PHP doesn't 
have a module to do this; something based on the PHP parse_url function. It 
wouldn't need rocket science to extend it to do the necessary.
