Unless you use special server-side tags, the path is resolved on client. The browser knows nothing about your context. It only knows the server name (myserver.com) and resource name (/images/pic.jpg). Leading slash means "starting from the root" and that how browser resolves the address.
Not being able to have context-relative links sucks, this is one of the reasons why Struts, for example, has html:link tag.
