Relative URLs are good - they make the page work properly behind proxy
servers. Why do you want an absolute one? Do your resources live in a
different context or something?

If you're trying to serve resources relative to your context root, just
add it with:
add(HeaderContributor.forCss("resources/styles/global.css"));

And that should work just fine (generating a relative URL).

Arguably we should strip off the first "/" if you put in an absolute 
path, so this is more transparent to the end user. I'm not convinced 
that enough people want to serve their resources from a different 
context path that we should provide absolute URLs - they're obviously 
open to people using them then wondering why it's broke behind a mod_proxy.

Regards,

Al
