[Koha] MARC fields: server-independent URLs

I agree with your questions which I have tryed to find an alternative way.
My main proposal would be to have a new system preference field where  
we could locate the absolute path to add to file name. Another way is  
to modify httpp.conf and add a fixed path like  
http://bd/name_of_the_file where bd would point for the absolute path.

The problem is that we need to have a relative path not to have to  
replace all URL fields if we need to change it. How ? Sugestions  
welcome.
