Comment (by afercia):

 Terminology notes:

 "relative vs absolute"
 URLs without the protocol part or without the domain name are still
 "absolute" if they don't depend on the context, for example:
 `/somepath/somefile`
 `//mysite.com/somepath/somefile`
 are absolute URLs

 Only URLs that depend on context, i.e. the location of the document
 they're used into, are "relative" for example:
 `somepath/somefile`
 `../somefile`
