# Configure View to Use Original URLs

By default, the View service converts any URLs that occur in the HTML and CSS background attributes in input documents into `View` requests. Alternatively, you can configure the View service to use the original links in the output document. In this case, View adds the `base` tag (with the `href` attribute set) to the beginning of the output, so that relative URLs resolve back to the original Web server.

To configure View to use the original internal links

1. Open the View component configuration file in a text editor.

2. In the `[Viewing]` section, set `OriginalBaseURL` to `True`. For example:

       OriginalBaseURL=True

3. Save and close the configuration file.

4. Restart the View component for your changes to take effect.

You can override the `OriginalBaseURL` configuration parameter for an individual `View` action by using the `OriginalBaseURL` action parameter. This action parameter uses the configuration setting as its default value.
